Abstract
Estrones have been subjected to an addition reaction with [(4-ethynylphenyl)azo]pyrrolidine to provide 17 α -{4-[(pyrrolidin-1-yl)-azo]phenylethynyl}estra-3,17 β-diols. A subsequent iodination with iodotrimethylsilane, produced in situ from chlorotrimethylsilane and NaI, leads to 17α -(p-iodophenylethynyl)estra-3,17 β-diols. This reaction can also be carried out with Na125I to give radiolabelled estra-3,17 β-diols, which are potentially useful radiodiagnostic agents for the detection of estrogen positive breast cancer. The stability of the radiolabelled compounds is exemplified in a stability study of 3-O-methyl 17 α-(p-[125I]iodophenylethynyl)estra-1,3,5(10),6-tetraene-17 β-ol in acetonitrile.
