, p. 4475 - 4482 (2007/10/02)
Two optically active steroid CD ring synthons 4 and 19 were synthesized from 11 obtained by the microbial asymmetric reduction of a pro-chiral trione 10 which could be efficiently prepared by the reaction of a new annelating reagent 9 with 2-ethyl-cyclope

Novel process for the preparation of 13β-alkyl-4-gonene-3,17-diones of the formula STR1 wherein R1 is methyl or ethyl, consists of REACTING A 7Aβ-ALKYL,5,6,7,7A-TETRAHYDROINDANE-1,5-DIONE WITH FORMALDEHYDE AND AN ARYLSULFINIC ACID OR AN ADDUCT OF FORMALDEHYDE AND ARYLSULFINIC ACID TO PRODUCE A TETRAHYDROINDANE DERIVATIVE; Hydrogenating the tetrahydroindane derivative with hydrogen in the presence of a palladium-, platinum-, or rhodium-containing hydrogenation catalyst to produce a perhydroindane derivative; Condensing the perhydroindane derivative in the presence of a proton-accepting agent with a 7,7-alkylenedioxy-3-oxooctanoic acid ester; Treating the product obtained with a strong aqueous base and then heating the product in an inert solvent to produce a 4,5-secosteroid; Hydrogenating the 4,5-secosteroid in the presence of a palladium-, platinum-, rhodium-, or nickel-containing hydrogenation catalyst; and Hydrolyzing and cyclizing the hydrogenated 4,5-secosteroid by treatment with a strong acid.
