The thermal elimination of β-ketosulfoxide (2) afforded the α, β-unsaturated γ-ketoester (3) as a Michael acceptor (analogous to the key intermediate in Smith's estrone synthesis), which was condensed with 2-methylcyclopentane-1, 3-dione to give the adduct (4) having all carbon units of the aromatic steroidal skeleton. The Michael adduct was then cyclized in the presence of methanesulfonic acid to yield the novel estrapentaene (6) with a methoxycarbonyl group at the C-12 position. The estrapentaene (6) was converted to 12β- and 12α-methoxycarbonylestrones (25 and 26) and their estradiol derivatives (27 and 28) by selective reductions followed by demethylation.
