R. Maltais et al., Efficient coupling and solid-phase synthesis of steroidal ketone derivative using polymer-bound glycerol, TETRAHEDR L, 41(11), 2000, pp. 1691-1694
High-yield coupling of steroidal hindered ketones onto polymer-bound glycer
ol by an efficient acetal exchange reaction is reported under mild conditio
ns. A solid-phase model sequence of five steps is thereafter achieved to sy
nthesize a steroidal ketone derivative having two levels of diversity in go
od yield and purity. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
