Abstract
The buffered hydrolysis of 4β-ethyl-4α-methylcholest-5-en-3β-yl mesylate and 4α-ethyl-4β-methylcholest-5-en-3β-yl mesylate has been studied. Both reactions resulted in a predominance of ring-contracted products accompanied by small, but significant, amounts of products derived from stereospecific alkyl shifts. A chair–boat equilibrium is postulated to explain these results.
