Abstract
3-Methylenecholest-5-ene reacts with singlet oxygen to give 5α-hydroperoxy-3-methylenecholest-6-ene which, in turn, rearranges rapidly to 3β-hydroperoxy-5α,3α-( epidioxymethano )cholest-6-ene by free-radical cyclization , and 7α-hydroperoxy-3-methylenecholest-5-ene by allylic rearrangement.
