Conclusions
-
1.
The opening of the oxide ring of the hydrazones of the 16α-deutero-16β,17β-oxides of steriods proceeds with a cleavage of the C-17-O bond and is accompanied by the complete elimination of deuterium from the 16-position.
-
2.
The obtained results testify in support of the fact that the formation of the 16,17-hydroxypyrazoline and the monohydrazone of the 16,20-diketone does not proceed through the 16 → 17-hydride shift, but rather through the step of the Δ16-16-vinyl alcohols.
