17β‐(3‐Oxocyclobutyl)androstane, prepared by the thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition of dichloroketene to 3β‐acetoxypregna‐5,20‐diene, is the key intermediate in the new, efficient synthesis of steroids bearing the 17β‐butenolide fragment that characterizes cardenolides. The six‐step synthesis of 3β‐ tert ‐butyldimethylsilyloxy‐14α‐carda‐5,20(22)‐dienolide was achieved with a total yield of 32%. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2005)
