Abstract
A minor constituent of the saponin hydrolysate of the starfishes Asteriasforbesi and Asteriasvulgaris is shown to be (20R)-5α-pregn-9(11)-ene-3β,6α,20-triol by synthesis from 11-oxoprogesterone. The occurrence of the reduced progesterone side chain could have implications concerning the origins of progesterone-type compounds in saponin hydrolysates from starfish.
