The synthetic routes to 25-hydroxy derivatives of 4-methylcholest-4-ene and 4,4-dimethylcholest-5-ene from methyl lithocholate and methyl 3β-acetoxy-24-homochol-5-en-25-oate (6) have been investigated. The cholest-5-ene-3β,25-diol (7), readily available from 6, was transformed in a few steps into the title compounds. It was also found that bromination of 24-acetoxy-5β-cholan-3-one (1) and of its enol acetate followed by dehydrobromination is not a regioselective reaction. Formation of mixtures of 2β-bromo-3-oxo and 4β-bromo-3-oxo compounds, which gave mixtures of 24-acetoxychol-4-en-3-one (4) and 24-acetoxy-5β-chol-1-en-3-one (5) of similar polarity was observed. 4-Methyl-25-hydroxycholest-4-en-3-one (14) and 4-methyl-25-hydroxycholesta-1,4-dien-3-one (16) are potential substrates for the preparation of 4-methyl analogs of vitamin D3.

Some derivatives of des-A-cholestane with a thiophene ring B have been prepared from triketone 2. The reactions of tosylates of C-10 alcohols (7b, 9b, and 8c) leading to A-ring ethers (10 and 11) and olefin 5, respectively, have been studied. The solvolysis of tosylate 4c and the Bamford–Stevens reactions of p-tosylhydrazones 3c and 13b are also discussed.

Synthetic routes to o-carboxyphenyl derivatives of certain heterocyclic compounds, required for testing as plant growth regulators, were investigated. The preparation of 2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2- yl)benzoic acid (3), 2-(5-phenyl-1,3,4-thiadiazol-2-yl)benzoic acid (4), 2-(5-phenyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)benzoic acid (5), 2-(3-phenyl- 1,2,4-oxadiazol-5-yl)benzoic acid (6), 2-(2-phenylthiazol-4-yl)benzoic acid (7), 2-(3-phenylisoxazol-5-yl)benzoic acid (8), 2-(5- phenylisoxazol-3-yl)benzoic acid (9) and chloro derivatives of (3), (4), (8) and (9) is described.
