We report the deacylation of (20R)-20-acetyl-23,24-dinorcholanic lactones by hydrazine hydrate, under microwave irradiation in high yields. The elimination of the 20-acetyl group proceeded with retention of configuration which contrast with other proved deacylation methods that yield a mixture of diastereoisomers.
