Abstract: On the study of reduction of some steroidal ketones with keto groups in the nucleus and side chain, it was found that the reduction with NaBH4 CH3OH, in the presence of different kind of metal ions such as Cd2+, Co2+, Ce3+ etc., may lead to different regio and stereo selective results and obtain different products.

Key words: Steroidal ketones, Reductive reaction, Regio selectivity, Stereo selectivity
