An efficient one step synthesis of [3 α ‐ 3 H]5 α ‐androst‐16‐en‐3 β ‐ol by NaBT 4 reduction of a ketone precursor is described. The specific activity of the product was 21.6 Ci/mmol with a radiochemical purity >99%. Synthesis of the precursor, 5 α ‐androst‐16‐en‐3‐one, from commercially available 5 α ‐androst‐16‐en‐3 α ‐ol is also presented. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
