13-Ethyl-18-norpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione (7) and 13-acetyl-18-norpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione (4) were synthesized and tested in the s.c.Clauberg assay.The potencies of these compounds (1x and 1/3 x progesterone, respectively) are compared with those reported for 13-vinyl- and 13-cyanomethyl-18-norpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione.A comparable activity (1/3 x progesterone) was found for 13-acetyl-18-norpregn-4-en-3-one (10) which lacks the 20-carbonyl group.
