Abstract

In connection with the total synthesis of heterocyclic steroids, we undertook the synthesis of a B-secosteroid intermediate (I) starting from 2',3,4'-trimethoxy-propiophenone [1]. Examples involving a 'B-seco' approach for the total synthesis of steroids are the synthesis of oestrone [2] and steroids -without ring B [3]. We wish to report in this communication the structure of a novel steroid derivative without ring B by an acid catalysed quot;bis cyclization. Incidentally, this forms a new approach to the synthesis of homobrendane derivatives [4].
