Journal ArticleDOI
Total synthesis of steroids. Part 1. Ring A aromatic compounds. Regiocontrol in diene additions with 6-methoxy-1-vinyl-3,4-dihydronaphthalene
TL;DR: A total synthesis of ring A aromatic D-homosteroids and the conversion of one of them to estrone and its derivatives is described in this article, where the key reaction is a catalysed addition of 6-methoxy-1-vinyl-3,4...
Journal ArticleDOI
A Stereospecific Synthesis of Ring A-aromatic Steroids
TL;DR: In this article, a diene synthesis using 2,6-xyloquinone as dienophile and boron trifluoride as catalyst leads to a facile synthesis of ring A-aromatic steroids.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermolysis of Δ3-1,3,4-oxadiazolin-2-ones and 2-phenylimino-Δ3-1,3,4-oxadazolines derived from α,β-epoxyketones. An alternative method for the convers of α,β-epoxyketones to alkynones and alkynals
TL;DR: In polar solvents, Δ3-1,3,4,4-oxadiazolin-2-ones or 2-phenylimino-Δ3- 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, β-epoxyketones derived from α,β-epoxoxone, β,β,epoxy-ketones, yields acetylenic carbonyl compounds.
