Conclusions

  1. 1.

    The reaction of 16α,17α-oxides of 16β-methylsteroids with H2SO4 in (CH3CO)2O leads to the formation of the 16,17-cyclosulfates of 16α,17α-diols.

  2. 2.

    Replacing the 20-keto group by either the hydrazone or the acetoxy group does not change the direction of the reaction.

  3. 3.

    The discovered reaction also takes place in the case of the monocyclic ditertiary oxides.
