Improved and Scalable Synthetic Route to the Synthon 17-β-(2-Carboxyethyl)-1,3,5(10)-estratriene: An Important Intermediate in the Synthesis of Bone-Targeting Estrogens
2010
An improved, highly scalable methodology for the multigram-scale preparation of an important synthon, 17-β-(2-carboxyethyl)-1,3,5(10)-estratriene, is described. Previous approaches have failed to provide useful quantities of the analytically pure product because of facile retro-Michael breakdown of the β-alkoxy carbonyl precursors during workup and isolation operations. The synthetic approach described herein has been designed specifically to sidestep this problematic breakdown process. This new scalable method of preparation overcomes a major hurdle in the exploration of structure–activity relationships centered around novel estradiol derivatives with bone-targeting properties and also provides a scalable process for subsequent developmental work.
