Reaction of steroidal epoxides with thioglycolic acid

Reaction of 5,6α-epoxy-5α-cholestane (1), its 3β-chloro (2), 3β-acetoxy (3) and 3β-hydroxy (4) analogues with thioglycolic acid affords hydroxy formates (5-8) along with the diols (9-12).The structures of these products have been established on the basis of their analytical and spectral data.The structure of compound 6 was further supported by its X-ray analysis.
