Abstract

Upon reaction with an excess of 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol (neopentyl glycol) under acid catalysis, estrones form 17-O-[2',2'-dimethyl-2'-(5", 5"-dimethyl-1",3"-dioxanyl)ethyl] substituted estra-3,17β-diols. The reaction represents a formal reduction of a keto function under acidic conditions in the absence of a metal.
