Steroid A-Ring Aromatisation of C-Ring Substituted 1,4-dien-3-ones

Harburn, J.J; Loftus, G.C; Marples, B.A

Abstract

A number of A-ring steroidal 1,4-dien-3-ones 7, 8, 9 and 10 have been aromatised in zinc/pyridine–water; the products depend upon the position and type of C-ring substituents and provide new evidence in support of a radical anion mechanism.
