Abstract

We2 have demonstrated the flexibility of our recently described tot'al syntheses of estrone3 by their extension to a variety of related 13P-alkylgonanes. This paper describes a further application to compounds of the (*)-2, 3-dimethoxyestra-l, 3, 5 (10)-triene series which were required for biological evaluation. The project seemed worthwhile in view of the occurrence of 2-methoxyestrone as a metabolite of estradiol in man. 4 The 6, 7-dimethoxy-l-tetralone ( ...
