Abstrakt: The products of the photolysis of two steroidal cyclic α-nitro enones, newly synthesized, were compared with those of the cyclic α-nitro ketones and cyclic enones. Direct irradiation of 2α-nitrocholest-4-en-3-one in protic solvents resulted in an unexpected α-cleavage of the carbonyl group and gave 3-alkoxy-2-nitro-2,3-secocholest-4-en-3-one while irradiation of 4α-nitro-5α-cholest-1-en-3-one gave the parent cholest-1-en-3-one which arose from the removal of the nitro group.
