Abstract

New, short, and flexible procedures have been developed for syntheses of steroid and D- homo steroid skeletons. A Mukaiyama reaction between the silyl enol ether of 6- methoxytetralone and 2-methyl-2-cyclopentenone or carvone, with transfer of the silyl group to the receiving enone, gave a second silyl enol ether. Addition of a carbocation, generated under Lewis acid conditions from 3-methoxy-2-butenol, 3-ethoxy-3-phenyl-2-propenol or 3 ...
