N2  - Treatment of 6&#946;-bromo-4&#946;,5-epoxy-5&#946;-cholestan-3&#946;-ol (IV) with lithium aluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran at reflux for 16 hr gave a high yield of a new diol, C27H48O2, formulated as 4,5-seco-4,6-cyolo-6&#946;- cholestane-3&#946;,5&#945;-diol (VIIa). This assignment follows from mechanistic considerations, and the chemical and physical properties of the dial and its transformation products.     Stepwise removal of the oxygen functions gave the new hydrocarbon 4,5-seco-4,6-cyclo-6&#946;-cholestane (XIXg).
