The distinction between 17-epimeric 3,17-dioxygenated hydroxyandrostanes has been made by comparison of both their methane or ammonia positive and OH- negative chemical ionization (CI) mass spectra.In the methane or ammonia positive CI, the 17α-configuration in the eight stereoisomeric 5ξ-androstane-3ξ,17ξ-diols can be determined by the relative abundances of the ion +.In the ammonia CI spectra, the ion + possesses only a low abundance, but a comparison of the relative rates of the loss of water v. the loss of ammonia from + in the second field -free region allows a clear distinction to be made between the 17α- and 17β-series.In the OH- negative CI mass spectra, the 5ξ-androstane-3-one-17ξ-ols produce an intense ion - in the 17α-series only.

In human sports doping control analysis most of the steroids are analyzed after enzymatic hydrolysis of the glucuronides as per-trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatives applying gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). According to the recommendations of the World Anti-Doping Agency the identification of analytes should be based on retention time and on mass spectrometric characterization. This study shows that the bis-TMS derivatives of 16 specific C19 steroids, namely the stereoisomers of 5ξ-androst-1-ene-3ξ,17ξ-diol (8 isomers), androst-4-ene-3ξ,17ξ-diol (4 isomers), and 17ξ-hydroxy-5ξ-androstan-3-one (4 isomers), reveal very similar mass spectra. As a rule, when taking the retention times, which are provided as Kovac indices for all these isomers, into account, a restriction to two or three possible isomers is possible. Reliable identification should additionally include a comparison of the retention times of the analytes with the reference compounds measured concomitantly. In some cases standard addition may be appropriate. Due to the limited availability, the above mentioned isomers were synthesized by reduction of the corresponding α,β-unsaturated oxo steroids either with K-Selectride or by catalytic hydrogenation (Pd/C as catalyst). The products of the reactions were identified by means of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) characterization and by further reduction to the corresponding 5ξ-androstane-3ξ,17ξ-diols and GC-MS comparison with commercially available reference standards.
