Total Synthesis of Ring-A aromatic steroids

P Bijoy, R G Naik, Uma Shivkumar, G S R Subha Rao

Abstract


A critical examination of the methodologies developed for the synthesis of A-ring aromatic steroids is presented with special emphasis on the synthesis of estrone. Different strategies for the construction of ring systems, control of stereochemistry, resolution and asymmetric synthesis have also been discussed.

Keywords


Total synthesis; A-ring steroids; estrone; stereoselectivity; resolution; asymmetric synthesis.
