Abstract
New processes for preparing new steroid derivatives including ergosta-1,5,7,22-tetraen-3.beta.-ol, 1.alpha.-hydroxyergosteryl diacetate, etc. which are useful intermediates in the synthesis of 1.alpha.-hydroxy vitamin D.sub.2. The processes include the new steps of reacting ergosta-1,4,6,22-tetraen-3-one with isopropenyl acetate in the presence of an acid catalyst followed by reduction to ergosta-1,5,7,22-tetraen-3.beta.-ol. The overall yield leading to 1.alpha.-hydroxy vitamin D.sub.2 is dramatically increased.
