N2  - Reaction of the &#960;-allylpalladium compounds derived from some 3-oxo 4- ene steroids with malonate ion gives dialkyl (3-oxo-steroid-4-en-6&#946;- yl)malonates in high yield and with complete stereo-specificity. The 6&#946;-malonates can be epimerized to give the more stable 6&#945;-epimers or decarboalkoxylated to give the corresponding acetic acid derivatives.
