N2  - The hydroboration of 6&#945;- and 6&#946;-hydroxyandrost-4-en-17-one is shown to take place predominantly on the face of the alkenetrans to the allylic hydroxy group. The regiochemistry of the reaction is also modified with the formation of some 5&#946;,6&#945;,17&#946;-trihydroxy-5&#946;-androstane from 6&#945;-hydroxyandrost-4-en-17-one. The structure of this tertiary alcohol was established by X-ray crystallography.
