An impurity isolated during the kilo-lab preparation of 3β-acetoxyandrost-5-ene-7,17-dione was identified as 3β-acetoxy-17a- oxo-androst-5-ene-7,17-dione. This novel D-ring secosteroid was postulated to be a Baeyer-Villiger oxidation by-product of the preparation reaction. A genuine sample was prepared by the selective peracid-mediated Baeyer-Villiger reaction on 3β-acetoxyandrost-5-ene-7,17-dione (7-oxo-DHEA acetate), confirming the novel structure.
