%X The methyl esters of the 6-epimers of 3-oxocholest-4-en-6-ylacetic acid, and of 3,20-dioxopregn-4-en-6-ylacetic acid, have been synthesized from 5&#945;,6-epoxy-3,3-ethylenedioxy-5&#945; -cholestane and 5&#945;,6-epoxy-3,3,20,20-bisethylenedioxy-5&#945; -pregnane, respectively, via the corresponding 5&#945;-hydroxy- 6&#946;(prop-2-enyl) derivatives.
