Conclusions
In the cyclization of 3-methoxy-8, 14-seco-D-homoestra-1,3,5,(10),9(11)-tetraene-14, 17a-dione (I) the stereoisomeric 14α-hydroxy-3-methoxy-D-homoestra-1,3,5(10),9(11)-tetraen-17a-ones (III) and (IV) are formed at first, and after dehydration and isomerization these are converted into 3-methoxy-D-homoestra-1,3,5(10),8,14-pentaen-17a-one (II). The ketol (IV) is much more readily dehydrated than the ketol (III) and is probably themain intermediate product in the cyclization of the diketone (I).
