(3 α ,5 α )‐3‐Hydroxy‐ C ‐homopregnane‐11,20‐dione ( 3 ) was prepared in eleven steps from the commercially available pregn‐4‐ene‐3,11,20‐trione ( 4 ) via the 11‐oxo‐13‐formyl‐12,13‐secopregnane intermediate 11 ( Scheme 2 ). Subjection of this secopregnane to an intramolecular aldol condensation afforded the α , β ‐unsaturated key intermediate C ‐homopregn‐12‐en‐11‐one 12 .
