A study of the transformation of Δ 7 ‐9, 11α‐oxidosteroids into Δ 8 ‐11‐ketosteroids leads to a new two‐step process giving excellent yields. Thus Δ 8 ‐11‐ketones of the ergostane, androstane and, for the first time, also of the cholestane series are prepared. Δ 7 ‐11‐ketosteroids appear as intermediates which, according to their reactions, seem to belong to the 9β‐series. On the basis of this observation a reaction mechanism for the isomerisation of epoxides into ketones is presented.
