%X The facilitation of basic hydrolysis of sterioally hindered acetoxy groups has been ex mined among the lanosterol oxo derivatives. It is found that an llp-acetoxyl may be hydrolysed under mild conditions in the presence of a 7-oxo group or more easily when a 3,7-dioxo grouping is present. The 7&#945;-acetoxy group is resistant to basic hydrolysis except in the presence of a 3- or 11-oxo group. Possible reasons for these effects are discussed.
