Propargyl amine was protected by condensing it with 2,5-hexanedione to give 2,5-dimethyl-N-(2'-propyn-1'-yl)pyrrole (2).The latter was converted to the corresponding Grignard reagent with ethylmagnesium bromide, and then condensed with estrone tetrahydropyranyl ether to give 17α--1,3,5(10)-estratriene-3,17β-diol 3-tetrahydropyranyl ether (3), in 85percent yield.Acetic acid and methanol cleaved the tetrahydropyranyl ether group, and hydroxylamine and sodium bicarbonate cleaved the pyrrole ring to give 17α-(3'-amino-1'-propyn-1'-yl)-1,3,5(10)-estratriene-3,17β-diol (1), estrynamine.Several derivatives and analogs of 1 were also synthesized.Estrynamine binds to estrogen receptor with an RBA of 0.0045 (estradiol = 1.0).Several of the compounds, including estrynamine, are weak estrogens (stimulation of prolactin synthesis).
