Abstract

d,ℓ-3-Methoxy-14β-hydroxy-8α,9β-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one (I) undergoes two-centered isomerization in alkaline medium to d,ℓ-3-methoxy-14β-hydroxy-8β,9α-estra-1, 3,5(10)-trien-17-one (II) in 70% yield. Under analogous conditions, natural isomer (II) is converted into synthetic isomer (I) in 20% yield. The crystalline and molecular structure of isomer (II) was established.
