description

Two geminal difluorosteroids, 3,3-difluoro-5β-cholan-24-oic acid (1) and 3,3-difluoro-5α-androstan-17-one (2), have been prepared from corresponding ketosteroids with diethylaminosulphurtrifluoride (DAST) treatment in moderate yields. The structures of 1 and 2 have been characterized by 1H, 13C, 19F NMR, and ESI mass spectral techniques. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
