18‐Cyano‐pregnenolone, easily available by the ‘oxidative cyanohydrine‐cyanoketone rearrangement’ [3] from pregnenolone cyanohydrine [1], was used as starting material for the synthesis of several representatives of the new group of 18‐homoconanine derivatives, such as 18‐homoconessine (XVIII) and 18‐homolatifoline (XIII).
