1. A method of making a ketone of the formula where R is represented by the structure:

  • where the stereochemical center at carbon 20 may have the R or S configuration, and where Z is selected from Y, —

    OY, —

    CH2OY, —

    C≡

    CY and —

    CH═

    CHY, where the double bond may have the cis or trans geometry, and where Y is selected from hydrogen, methyl, —

    COR5 and a radical of the structure;

    where m and n, independently, represent the integers from 0 to 5, where R1 is selected from hydrogen, deuterium, hydroxy, protected hydroxy, fluoro, trifluoromethyl, and C1-5 -alkyl, which may be straight chain or branched and, optionally, bear a hydroxy or protected-hydroxy substituent, and where each of R2, R3 and R4, independently is selected from deuterium, deuteroalkyl, hydrogen, fluoro, trifluoromethyl and C1-5 alkyl, which may be straight-chain or branched, and optionally, bear a hydroxy or protected-hydroxy substituent, and where R1 and R2, taken together, represent an oxo group, or an alkylidene group, ═

    CR2R3, or the group —

    (CH2)p

    , where p is an integer from 2 to 5, and where R3 and R4, taken together, represent an oxo group, or the group —

    (CH2)q

    , where q is an integer from 2 to 5, and wherein any of the CH-groups at positions 20, 22, or 23 in the side chain may be replaced by a nitrogen atom, or where any of the groups —

    CH(CH3)—

    , —

    CH(R3)—

    , —

    CH(R2)—

    at positions 20, 22 and 23, respectively, may be replaced by an oxygen or sulfur atom, and further wherein R5 is a protected-hydroxy group, which comprises the steps of selectively tosylating a diol of the formula to obtain a mono-tosolyate of the formula thereafter converting the mono-tosylate to an acetylenic compound having the formula catalytically hydrogenating the acetylenic bond to obtain a hydroxylated derivative of the formula and oxidizing the hydroxylated derivative to said ketone.
