Abstract

IN an earlier communication1 we announced the isolation of a new 17-ketosteroid in the urine of a girl with adenoma of the adrenal cortex. This compound, which we designated "17-ketosteroid II", is converted in presence of HCl into a mixture of C19H27OCl and dehydro-iso-androsterone. We have now studied this reaction in more detail.
