Dehydration of 5‐hydroxy cholesterol derivatives is attended by C–10 to C–5 methyl migration ( Westphalen ‐ Lettré rearrangement) only if a β‐substituent is present at C–6. In the absence of such a substituent dehydration and dehydrochlorination of 5‐hydroxy and 5‐chloro derivatives respectively yield mainly 5‐cholestenes in a rate‐controlled 1,2‐elimination process.
