, p. 48 - 49 (1996)
3-Methoxy-14α,15α-methylenestra-1,3,5(10,8-etraen-17α-ol on hydrogenation with triethylsilane/trifluoroacetic acid yielded 3-methoxy- 14β,15β-methylenestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17α-ol, not the 14α,15α-methylene- 9β product as previously described.

Under the activating and syn-directing effect of the 17-hydroxy group the Simmons Smith cyclopropanation of 14,15-unsaturated 17-hydroxy steroids of the androstane and estratriene series 1a, 5 and 9 affords the 14,15-methylene steroids 2a, 6 and 10 with cis position of the 14,15-methylene and 17-hydroxy groups in a stereospecific reaction.Oxidation of these compounds yields the 17-keto derivatives 3, 7 and 11, which were reduced to the compounds 4a, 8 and 12 with trans position of the 14,15-methylene and 17-hydroxy groups by complex hydrides or diborane.In a phase transfer catalyzed reaction dichloro- or dibromocarbene was added to 3β,17β-diacetoxy-5α-androst-14-ene 1b forming the 14β,15β-dihalogenmethylene steroids 13 and 14.The 17-keto steroids 7 and 11 were transformed into 17-methyl and 17-ethynyl derivatives 15-20.Cleavage of the cyclopropane ring of 2a, 2b and 3 by catalytic hydrogenation affords the 14β-methyl derivatives 21-23, the acid catalyzed ring opening with hydrogen chloride yields the 14β-chloro, 15β-methyl derivatives 24-29.Structure elucidation has been established by 1H n.m.r. and mass spectroscopy.The configuration at C17, C14 and C15 was also determined by means of 1H n.m.r. spectroscopy, using the chemical shifts of the 18-protons, the coupling constants and the chemical shifts of the 17-protons.The configuration of the 17-disubstituted steroids was established with the aid of an europium shift reagent.

Compounds of the general formula STR1 in which R' is hydrogen or a methyl radical; R is a hydroxyl, acetoxy, arylaminocarbonyloxy, alkylaminocarbonyloxy radical; Z is hydrogen or a lower alkyl, or R and Z together are oxygen. These compounds exhibit a very favorable separation of desirable contraceptive and undesirable uterine and antigonadotrophic properties.
