Popis: The synthesis of several 17alpha-propadienyl of 18-methyl propadiene and of 17alpha allene steroids in the 19-nortestosterone and estradiol series is described. Of 2 methods described reduction of the monotetrahydropyranyloxy ether with lithium aluminum hydride was the most efficient; the second method involved the 17alpha-chloropropynyl intermediate. Oral progestagenic activites in the McPhail assay relative to norethindrone were 10-fold for 17beta-hydroxy-17alpha-propadienylestr-4-en-3-one 12-fold for 18-methyl-delta4-3-keto-propadiene 4-fold for 17alpha-propadienyl-4-ene-3beta17beta-diol. All had the same antiestrogenic activity.
