Starting from the 7α-bromide 5a, a regioselective synthesis of (1α,3β)-3-hydroxycholestane-4,6-diene-1,25-diol diacetate (2) is described. The preparative removal of contaminating 5,7-diene 9 was accomplished by the formation of the corresponding Diels-Alder adduct 11. Acetylation of the diacetate 2 followed by acid-catalyzed elimination and rearrangement yielded styrene 13.
