Abstract
The novel intermediates and processes of this invention provide a new synthetic route for the preparation of pharmaceutically valuable 19-norsteroids. Further, the intermediates and processes of the invention provide a novel route for the preparation of pharmaceutically valuable estrones. The present invention provides a facile total synthesis of 19.beta.-alkyl-C/D-trans-steroidal materials. This desirable result is obtained via a unique asymmetric induction followed by subsequent stereospecific reaction steps. As a precursor to the steroidal Ring A, a 3,5-disubstituted-4-isoxazolylmethylene group is employed in this synthesis.
