Abstract

Highly oxygenated steroidal derivatives are important targets in biology and chemistry. In their Communication on page 264 ff., Minoru Tamiya and co‐workers accomplished the synthesis of the aglycon of the argelosides, a highly‐oxygenated seco‐pregnane with cage‐like D, E, and F rings, through the three oxidative operations: 1) Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation, 2) Baeyer‐Villiger oxidation, and 3) Wacker oxidation. Despite the rather simple strategy, the major challenge lay in handling the easy‐to‐aromatize structure in the intermediate and target molecules.
