Reaction Steps
3β-Hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one (DHEA) 1 reacts with singlet oxygen to yield 5α-hydroperoxy-3β-hydroxy-androst-6-en-17-one 2. This hydroperoxide undergoes a rearrangement when in chloroform solution to yield 7α-hydroperoxy-3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one, 3. Treatment of the hydroperoxide with zinc and acetic acid yields 3β,7α-dihydroxy-androst-5-en-17-one, 4. ##STR35##
