of 6β-and 6α-hydroxy-(acetoxy-)cholest-4-en-3-one with MCPBA gives two types of product, depending on the initial site of the peroxy acid attack. Attack at the carbonyl group gives a Baeyer–Villiger rearrangement leading first to enol lactones and then by epoxidation of the latter to epoxy lactones. Alternatively, attack at the double bond gives epoxy ketones which can subsequently undergo a Baeyer–Villiger
