Abstract
Several representative steroidal sapogenins have been conveniently converted to the corresponding dihydrosapogenins employing the lithium aluminum hydride-aluminum chloride reagent. Dihydro derivatives of lla-hydroxytigogenin, marko-genin, and three previously described dihydrosapogenins were prepared by the new procedure. Lithium aluminum hydride reduction of tomatidine, in the presence of aluminum chloride, provided both isomers of dihydrotomatidine.
