The 16 beta-(azidopropyl) derivative of estradiol (7) was synthesized and c
oupled to aminomethyl resin via a photolabile o-nitrobenzyl linker. Condens
ation of the corresponding iminophosphorane with activated acids successful
ly gave amides. Photocleavage resulted in good yield recovery of estradiol
derivatives 15 and 16 in acceptable purities for biological screening. (C)
