Abstract
The procedure of selective hydrogenation with gaseous tritium of 16 al pha,17 alpha-cyclohex-3'-en-pregna-1,4-dien-3,20-dione (St0) has been elaborated, and isotopically labelled 16 alpha,17 alpha-cyclohexanopre gna-1,4-dien-3,20-dione (St1), 16 alpha,17 alpha-cyclohex-3'-en-pregn- 4-en-3,20-dione (St2), 16 alpha,17 alpha-cyclohexanopregn-4-en-3,20-di one (St3) with molar radioactivity of 41, 44, 85 Ci/mmol, respectively , obtained. By hydrogenation with gaseous hydrogen, tritium labelled ( St3) was converted to 16 alpha,17 alpha-cyclohexano-5 alpha-pregnan-3, 20-dione (5 alpha-St4) and 16 alpha,17 alpha-cyclohexano-5 beta-pregna n-3,20-dione (5 beta-St4).
