Zusammenfassung

Die Bromwasserstoffabspaltung aus den bisher als 4,4-Dibrom-Verbindungen aufgefaßtennormalen Dibrom-3-ketosteroiden führt zur Bildung von 1,4-Dien-3-onen (IV), welche bisher nur aus 2,4-Dibrom-3-ketoallosteroiden erhalten worden waren. Daneben entstehen kleine Mengen von Δ1-2-Brom-3-ketonormal-steroiden (V). Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit, die überdies durch UV- und Infrarotspektren gestützt sind, machen es äußerst wahrscheinlich, daß die Dibromierung dernormalen 3-Ketosteroide in 2,4-Stellung erfolgt. Die in dieser Arbeit beschriebene Herstellung von 1,4-Dien-3-onen (IV) der Steroid-Reihe erweist sich somit als eine zweite Methode1 zur partiellen Synthese östrogener Hormone, ausgehend von Steroiden dernormalen Serie.
