Abstract. Current investigations guided to searching androstane derivatives with potential anabolic activity, weakly androgenic one directed us to synthesize 3b,11b-dihydroxy-9a-halo-5a-androstane-17-ones (4a-c). These compounds were oxidized by Jones’ Reagentat 0°C obtaining a selective oxidation of the equatorial 3b-hydroxyl group. This behaviour could be explained by the high steric hindrance at the 11b-position, increased by the strong inductive effect of the halogen atom at C-9a over the electronic density of the H-11a.
Resumen. Investigaciones recientes dirigidas a encontrar derivados androstánicos con potencial actividad anabólica y débil carácterandrogénico nos llevó a sintetizar 3b,11b-dihidroxi-9a-halo-5aandrostan-17-onas (4a-c). Estos compuestos fueron oxidados con el reactivo de Jones a 0°C obteniendo una oxidación selectiva del grupo ecuatorial 3b-hidroxilo. Este comportamiento puede ser explicado por el elevado impedimento estérico en la posición 11b, incrementado por el fuerte efecto inductivo en el C-9a sobre la densidad electrónica de H-11a.
