t This is the normal product in which the methoxyl group has undergone cleavage.<br />

$ A mixture of etiocholan~3(a)~ol, A 5 -androsten-303)-ol, and androstan~3(/3)-ol was formed.<br />

§ There was also formed a small amount of a second acid, probably the 17-iso acid.<br />

Il After methylation of the crude product.<br />

If Aside from the normal product (one carbonyl group reduced) there was formed dihydroxyketodiginene,<br />

C21H32O3, and a compound C21H34O2 (not isolated) presumably formed by the reduction<br />

of two carbonyl groups and the reductive cleavage of an ether link.<br />

** 2-Phenylpyrrocoline was also formed to the extent of 49%.<br />
