31. Sodium telluride was prepared as follows: a mixture of powdered tellurium (130 mg, 1.02 mmol), rongalite (sodium hydroxymethane sulfinate) (340 mg) and aqueous sodium hydroxide (70 mg in 1 mL of water) was stirred at 60 °C for 2 h under argon, to produce sodium telluride. The wine-colored solution was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure.

33. The compound 5 is sensitive to oxygen, and was stored under argon atmosphere. The latter was unstable under the conditions of silica gel chromatography and was used in the following step without further purification.
34. The typical procedure of thermolysis is as follows: a solution of 5 (0.5 g, 1.20 mmol) in 20 mL of o-xylene was stirred under argon at 130 °C for 12 h. After cooling, the solvent was removed under pressure (1 mmHg). The resulting oil was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (petroleum ether/diethyl ether 8:2) to afford compound 6a (0.23 g, 46%) and compound 6b (0.06 g, 12%). Those compounds are sensitive to oxygen, and were stored under an argon atmosphere.

42. For these three families of heterosteroids (11-thia, -selena and -tellura steroids), we observed an influence of the heteroatom on the Wacker oxidation reagents. In the case of 11-thia steroids, to overcome this problem, the sulfur atom was firstly oxidized before doing the Wacker oxidation. This study on 11-selena and 11-tellura steroids is under progress and will be reported in due course as a full Letter.
