Abstract

Steroidal quinols were obtained on large scale in 50–70% yield, together with syn-epoxyquinols. The reaction conditions can be adjusted to afford only the corresponding steroidal epoxyquinol in 51–54% yield.

Steroidal quinols and mono syn-epoxy quinols were prepared from the corresponding phenols.
