Efficient synthesis of the corticosteroid side-chain from 17-ketones

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Steroidal 17-ketones react smoothly with diethyl α-isocyanoethyl phosphorate to give, after suitable oxidative and hydrolytic reactions, the dihydroxy-acetone side-chain of corticosteroids in high yield.
