The structures 9 and 8 are proposed for the single isolated irradiation product of 5‐oxo‐5,10‐secocholest‐1(10)‐en‐3α‐yl acetate ( 6 ) [2] and for the minor product of irradiation of 5‐oxo‐5,10‐secocholest‐1(10)‐en‐3β‐yl acetate ( 1 ) [3], respectively. These compounds are formed in an alternative reaction with respect to the originally observed intramolecular Paterro ‐ Büchi photoprocess (transformation of 1 to oxetane 2 ). The formerly postulated ‘active’ conformations for 1 and 6 still allow explanation of their generation.
