Michael addition of 1-acetoxy-5-nitro-2-methylpentane to cis-5,17(20)-pregnadien-3β-ol-16-one furnishes adducts which readily lead to steroidalsapogenins. By using nitroacetates of appropriate configuration, stereoselective syntheses of kryptogenin, diosgenin and yamogenin have been affected.

Michael addition of S and R methyl 5-nitro-2-methylpentonoate to cis-5,17(20)pregnadien 3β-ol-20-one affords adducts from which tomatid-5-ene-3β-ol and solasodine are synthesised by a sequence of selective transformations.
