Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/07328309908544025

Improved syntheses for the 3-β-D-glucuronides of the steroidal sex hormones 17β-estradiol, 17α-ethynylestradiol and estrone are reported employing boron trifluoride diethyl etherate catalysis with tetraacetylated glucuronic acid or the corresponding imidate.
