A regiospecific and enantiospecific synthesis of tritium‐labeled 28‐homocastasterone is reported. Appropriate chlorocarbonate, efficiently synthesized from the starting 28‐homocastasterone in an overall yield of 46%, undergoes catalytic tritium dechlorination by the T 2 /Pd[0]/Et 3 N system, providing 28‐[3β‐ 3 H]homocastasterone, in a good yield, radiochemical purity (>97%), and with a high specific activity (5.8 Ci/mmol).
