3-Methoxyestra-1,3,5,8,14-pentaen-17-one (4) was prepared from 6-methoxy-1-tetralone (8) by an efficient two-pot procedure in which the D ring was generated by the Lewis acid catalysed reaction of 1,2-bis(trimethylsiloxy)cyclobutene (5) with an appropriate ketal (10). Keywords: steroid, estrone, annellation.

The direct formation of 2,2-disubstituted 1,3-cyclopentanedione compounds by a Lewis acid catalysed reaction with 1,2-bis(trimethylsilyloxy)cyclobutene proceeds in good to excellent yields with unhindered ketals, but steric hindrance reduces the yields considerably. A carbonyl group α or β to the ketal, or a carbon–carbon double bond α to the ketal, stops the reaction completely. Orthoesters do not give geminally acylated products in synthetically useful yields.
