Whereas the major hydroxylation product of 3β-hydroxy-5α-androstan- 17-one by Cephalosporium aphidicola is the 11α-alcohol, the presence of a Δ5-double bond in the substrate leads to non-stereospecific allylic hydroxylation at C-7. Hydroxylation at C-11 became a minor transformation and there was no detectable hydroxylation at C-14.
