Addition of 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol to 3β-hydroxy-5α-androst-15-en-17-one gave the mixture of isomeric 15-(4-methoxyphenyl)methoxy derivatives from which, after acetylation and chromatography, the major 15β isomer was separated. Borohydride reduction gave 17β-hydroxy derivative which was protected as methoxymethyl ether. Oxidative cleavage of protecting group at position 15 and the subsequent Jones oxidation afforded corresponding 15-ketone. Its oximation with O-(carboxymethyl)hydroxylamine, deacetylation and methylation with diazomethane gave protected O-(carboxymethyl)oxime derivative with free hydroxy group at position 3. Its oxidation afforded dihydrotestosterone derivative and successive deprotection of position 17 and of carboxy group led to final (15E)-17β-hydroxy-5α-androstane-3,15-dione 15-[O-(carboxymethyl)]oxime. The title compound was designed as dihydrotestosterone hapten for heterologous radioimmunoassays.

Borohydride reduction of titled ketones 1a-1g gave diastereoisomeric mixtures of (Z)-1,3-diphenyl-3-(2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)prop-2-en-1-ols 2a-2g and 3a-3g in which the former ones prevailed. Only individual racemic products were obtained after borohydride reduction of (E)-1,3-diphenyl-3-(2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)-prop-2-en-1-one 4 to corresponding 1-hydroxy derivative 5 and by conversion of (Z)-1-oxo derivative 1a to 1,3-diphenyl-3-(2-phenylimidazo[1,2-a]pyridin-3-yl)propan-1-one (6) with sodium hydrogenselenide. Diastereoselectivity of the borohydride reduction is discussed using the PM3 calculations of the molecules 1a, 2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4, 5, and 6.
