The tetracyanoethylene catalysed methanolysis of 17β-acetoxy-4β,5β:6α,7α-diepoxyandrostane afforded 17β-acetoxy-4α,7α-oxido-5β-hydroxy-6β-methoxyandrostane in which the methanolysis product of the 6α,7α-epoxide has participated in the cleavage of the 4β,5β-epoxide; the reaction is modified however by an adjacent 3β-hydroxy group.

A reductive decarboxylation of 7-chloro-1-ethyl-6-fluoro-1,4-dihydro-4-oxoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid (Id) with sodium borohydride provided the respective 1,2,3,4-tetrahydro derivative Va, which was treated with selenium dioxide to give product of dehydrogenation VIa. 3-Acetyl-1-ethyl-1,4-dihydroquinolin-4-ones VIb and VIc were oxidized with 3-chloroperoxybenzoic acid to the respective 3-hydroxyderivatives IIIa and IIIb. Compound IIIb was benzylated on a hydroxy group at position 3 to corresponding 3-benzyloxy derivative VIf which after prolonged heating with N-methylpiperazine in a sealed tube provided directly 3-hydroxy-7-(4-methyl-1-piperazinyl) derivative IIIc.

Sodium trimethoxyborohydride or a 1:3 mixture of sodium borohydride and sodium tetramethylborate reacts with a number of vicinal dibromides to form the corresponding olefin. Variable (sometimes good) yields were obtained when the bromine atoms were on secondary or tertiary carbons, but little or no olefin was detected when one bromine was primary.

Starting from estrone 3-benzyloxy-17β-hydroxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-16-one oxime (3b) was synthesized, which underwent Beckmann fragmentation giving the 3-benzyloxy-17-oxo- 16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-16-nitrile (4b). Sodium borohydride reduction of this compound afforded 3-benzyloxy-17-hydroxy-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-16-nitrile (5b). The deprotection of the 3-hydroxy group was achieved by action of hydrogen upon derivatives 4b and 5b in presence of Pd/C as a catalyst, yielding 3-hydroxy-17-oxo-16,17-secoestra- 1,3,5(10)-triene-16-nitrile (4a) and 3,17-dihydroxy-16,17-secoestra-1,3,5(10)-triene-16-nitrile (5a). In biological tests on experimental animals, compounds 4a, 4b, 5a and 5b showed virtually a complete loss of estrogenic activity, whereas compounds 4a, 5a and 5b exhibited moderate antiestrogenic effect.

Ketoester I was reduced to diol VI. The higher reactivity of its primary hydroxy group was made use of for the preparation of 12α-hydroxy derivatives VII, VIII and X the oxidation of which led to oxo derivatives XII, XIII and XIV. The reduction of the 12-oxo group in compounds XII and XIV with lithium aluminium hydride takes place stereospecifically under formation of 12α-hydroxy derivatives VII and X, while on reduction with sodium in 1-propanol corresponding 12β-hydroxy derivatives XV and XVI are also formed. Reduction of the unsaturated ketone XVII with sodium borohydride gave unsaturated alcohols XVIII and XX. As acetoxy ketone XXIV was obtained from olefin XIX in a 12% yield only, its alternative preparation was carried out from acetoxy ketone XXXIV via the intermediates XXXII, XXXV, XXVIII and XXXI in an overall yield of 27%. The structures of the derivatives of 12-lupene (III, V, XVII, XIX and XXI), 12-lupanol (II, VII, X, XV, XXXI and XXVII) and 12-lupanone (I, XII, XIII, XIV, XXIII, XXIV, XXXIII and XXXIV) were confirmed by the analysis of their 1H NMR spectra.
