  • Description: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Applying the HgCl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/ClCH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>SCH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>‐reaction 1. to 4,4‐dimethyl‐Δ<jats:sup>5</jats:sup>‐7‐oxo‐19‐hydroxy‐androstene (9) one observes an intramolecular rearrangement of the «Westphalen‐Lettré»‐type (→11). A related rearrangement is observed by treating 3‐oxo‐4,4‐dimethyl‐17β‐acetoxy‐Δ<jats:sup>5</jats:sup>‐androstene (12) with HgCl<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>/ClCH<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>SCH<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>‐reagent (→13). Reaction of 3β, 17β‐diacetoxy‐4,4‐dimethyl‐19‐(methoxymethyl)‐Δ<jats:sup>5</jats:sup>‐androstene (7) with hydrogenfluoride/urea‐reagent gives rise to a similar rearranged product (→15).</jats:p>
