Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for preparing a compound of general formula (Ia): wherein R2, Y, R4 and R5 are as defined herein, wherein the epoxidation is conducted using an oxidant and methyltrioxorhenium as a catalyst (MeReO3). The invention also relates to certain compounds per se. The compounds are intermediates in the synthesis of synthetic bile acids.
