Abstract

Total synthesis of the novel pentacyclic steroids 4, 6β-ethano-3-methoxy-8α-estra-1, 3.5(10)-trien-17β-ol (5) and 4.6α-ethano-3-methoxyestra-1, 3, 5(10), 8, 14-pentaen-17-one (20) is described. -Methoxy-1 -tetralone (6) was converted in several steps into the key intermediate 8-methoxy-2α, 3, 4, 5-tetrahydro-5-acenaphthenone (14). The latter ketone was converted into 4, 6-ethano-3-methoxy-8(14)-seco-1, 3, 5(101, 9(11)-estratetraene-14, 17-dione (17) via the isothiouronium acetate (16).
