N2  - The base catalysed hydrogen transfer from solvent alcohol to carbonyl groups is studied with 7,ll-dioxolanostan-3&#946;-yl acetate (I ; R=Ac) and shown to give almost entirely 3&#946;,7&#946;,ll&#946;-trihydroxylanostane (V ; R=R'=H) and the epimeric 3&#946;,7-di-hydroxylanostan-11-ones (VI and VIII ; R=H). Generalizations are made to account for their formation and stereochemistry.  The four 3&#946;,7,11-trihydrosylanostanes are prepared.
