Popis: Dehydroepiandrosterone (3β-hydroxyandrost-5-en-17-one) and 3 β-hydroxy-5α-androstan-17-one was converted by Bucherer synthesis to an isomeric pair of 17-spiro-hydantoins. The hydantoins were split by alkaline hydrolysis into 17-amino-17-carboxylic acids. These latter gave with acetic anhydride the corresponding 17-acetamino-17-carboxylic acids or the 17-spiro-2′-methyl-oxazoline-5′-ones depending on the conditions employed. The stereochemical configuration of the compounds was assigned on the basis of the infrared spectra and the dissociation constants of the amino acids.
