The 16.beta.-phenylthio-, 16.beta.-phenylseleno-, and 16.beta.-dimethylphenysilyl-substituted 3.beta.,17.alpha.-dihydroxy-5-pregnen-20-ones have been prepared by nucleophilic ring opening of 16.alpha., 17.alpha.-epoxysteroids in order to study the influence of the 16-substituent on the regiochemistry of the D-homo rearrangement. It was found that the phenylthio substituent redirected the course of the base-catalyzed ketol rearrangement, resulting in quantitative formation of the usually unobserved 17.beta.-hydroxy-17a-keto-17.alpha.-methyl-D-homo isomer, whereas phenylseleno or dimethylphenylsilyl substituents showed no influence. Thus, only S, but not Se or Si, seems capable of effectively stabilizing the negative charge in the .alpha. position in the transition state. On Lewis acid catalysis, however, neither S nor Se nor suprisingly Si had any effect on the regiochemistry of the rearrangements, resulting in the "normal" 17.alpha.-hydroxy-17a-keto-17.beta.-methyl-D-homo isomers.
