%X 3-Methylenecholest-5-ene reacts with singlet oxygen to give 5&#945;-hydroperoxy-3-methylenecholest-6-ene which, in turn, rearranges rapidly to 3&#946;-hydroperoxy-5&#945;,3&#945;-( epidioxymethano )cholest-6-ene by free-radical cyclization , and 7&#945;-hydroperoxy-3-methylenecholest-5-ene by allylic rearrangement.
