Abstract

17beta-Dihydrooxazinyl steroids 5a-l and 6a-l were synthetized. The acid-catalyzed reactions of 21-azidomethyl-20-hydroxy- and 21-hydroxymethyl-20-azidosteroids with substituted aromatic aldehydes led to the formation of androst-5-en-3beta-ols substituted in position 17beta with dihydrooxazine residues. The inhibitory effects of these compounds on rat testicular C(17,20)-lyase were investigated with an in vitro radioincubation technique.
