Abstract
A stereospecific synthesis of (+)-18-hydroxyestrone has been accomplished from (S)-malic acid via a chiral β-keto ester intermediate previously used for the synthesis of (+)-PGF2α The key step involves the coupling of this intermediate with a modified Torgov steroid precursor. The latter reaction is mediated by cupric acetate in aqueous ethanol. Elaboration of the coupled product to the finished steroid follows established methods.
