A series of dicarbonyl compounds have been designed and prepared to mimic the rigid tetracyclic core of estradiol and dihydrotestosterone. Non-symmetrical tri- and tetra-substituted oxamides were prepared by the sequential addition of primary and secondary amines to phenyl cholorooxoacetate. Oxoamides were prepared via a Friedel–Crafts acylation/amide coupling protocol. Crystallographic data shows...
A series of non-symmetrical tri- and tetra-substituted ureas have been prepared to mimic the rigid tetracyclic core of estradiol. Tetra-substituted ureas were prepared by a five-step protocol, involving activation and displacement of a carbonyldiimidazole adduct in 48–67% overall yield. This method was unsuccessful for tri-substituted ureas, which were prepared in 42–74% yields by an alternative four-step...
