Long-acting contraceptive agents: Norethisterone esters of polyunsaturated acids
摘要:
Some new derivatives of norethisterone (17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) are described in which the 17 beta-hydroxyl group of the steroid is esterified with polyunsaturated aliphatic acids. The potential of these compounds as long-acting contraceptive agents has been evaluated.
(E)- or (Z)-Enynoic acids and (2E,4E)- or (2Z,4E)-dienoic acids can be obtained in good yields under mild conditions through palladium-catalysed cross coupling of (E)- or (Z)-3-iodoprop-2-enoic acid with alkynylzinc or vinyltin reagents.
Esters of levonorgestrel (13 beta-ethyl-17 beta-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxygon-4-en-3-one) with a variety of unsaturated carboxylic acids have been synthesized for evaluation as potential long-acting, injectable contraceptive agents.

Isomerization of acetylenic pentafluorophenyl esters in the presence of phosphines gives rise to activated dienoic esters, which can be reduced directly in a simple one pot procedure to the corresponding conjugated unsaturated alcohols 6-10. The higher reactivity of the pentafluorophenyl esters in comparison to alkyl esters allows their selective isomerization. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
