Reductive cyclisation with Bu3SnH (0.07 M) of the secosteroidal alkyne iodide 2 and alkyne dithiocarbonate 3 gave stereoselectively E-21-methoxy-pregna-5, 17(20)-diene, 4. With Bu3SnH (2.4 M) 2 again gave only 4 whereas 3 gave a 7:3 ratio of the Z:E isomers 5:4. An explanation is put forward invoking a Barton intermediate.
