Some steroidal analogues embodying the hitherto unknown 13(14→8)‐abeo skeleton have been synthesized by Fe(II)‐induced rearrangement (tandem β‐fission/reductive alkylation) of 14α‐hydroperoxy‐7‐en‐6‐ones. The configurational assignment was made by thorough analysis of NMR spectra; the structure of one of the products was unambiguously assessed by X‐ray single‐crystal analysis.
