A short step synthesis of estradiol was presented. 1-Vinyl-6-methoxy-1-tetralol (I) was condensed with 2-methyl-1, 3-cyclopentanedione (II)in the presence of Triton B to give dl-3-methoxy-8, 14-secoestra-1, 3, 5(10), 9-tetraene-14, 17-dione (III) which was converted by phosphorus pentoxide into the known dl-3-methoxyestra-1, 3, 5(10), 8, 14-pentaen-17-one(IV). The ketone (IV) was treated with sodium borohydride in methanol, yielding dl-3-methoxyestra-1, 3, 5(10), 8, 14-pentaen-17β-ol(V). Catalytic hydrogenation of this compound over Raney nickel was found to be stereospecific, yielding dl-3-methoxyestra-1, 3, 5, (10), 8-tetraen-17β-ol(VI). This compound was subjected to K-NH3reduction to give dl-estradiol 3-methyl ether (VII).Racemic V was resolved through its 17 l-menthoxyacetate and d-estradiol 3-methyl ether obtained by the above series of reactions was identical with the material of natural origin. dl-Equilenin 3-methyl ether was prepared from dl-3-methoxyestra-1, 3, 5(10), 8-tetraen-17β-ol (VI) by oxidation with Jones' reagent at one step.
介绍了一种雌二醇的短步合成方法。1-Vinyl-6-methoxy-1-tetralol (I) 与 2-甲基-1,3-环戊二酮 (II) 在 Triton B 的存在下缩合,得到 dl-3-甲氧基-8,14-secoestra-1,3,5(10),9-tetraene-14,17-dione (III),用五氧化二磷将其转化为已知的 dl-3-甲氧基雌甾-1,3,5(10),8,14-戊烯-17-酮 (IV)。在甲醇中用硼氢化钠处理酮(IV),得到 dl-3-甲氧基雌甾-1,3,5(10),8,14-戊烯-17β-醇(V)。在 Raney 镍上对该化合物进行催化氢化反应,发现其具有立体特异性,生成了 dl-3-甲氧基雌甾-1,3,5,(10),8-四烯-17β-醇(VI)。外消旋体 V 通过其 17 l-甲氧基乙酸酯被分解,通过上述系列反应得到的 dl-estradiol 3-甲基醚与天然来源的物质相同。dl-Equilenin 3-甲基醚是由 dl-3-甲氧基雌甾-1,3,5(10),8-四烯-17β-醇(VI)一步用琼斯试剂氧化制得的。
