Upon heating in AcOH, the stereoisomeric ( Z )‐ and ( R )‐6,9‐dioxocyclodex‐3‐enyl derivatives, 5 and 6 , respectively, obtained by HgO/I 2 oxidation of 5‐hydroxy‐8‐oxo‐8,14‐seco‐5α‐androstane‐3β,17β‐diyl diacetate ( 3 ), undergo an unusual intramolecular rearrangement to give the corresponding unsaturated (5 R ,9 R )‐ and (5 R ,9 S )‐spiro‐lactones 7 and 8 , respectively. Hydroxylation of the CC bond in 7 and 8 , and subsequent glycol cleavage of the resulting diols 9 and 10 afforded the epimeric spiro‐lactones (5 R ,9 S )‐ 11 and (5 R ,9 R )‐ 14 , respectively, and in both cases, the ring‐D‐containing fragments 12 and 13 .
