摘要

The conversion of 19-nortestosterone acetate into 19-norandrosta-4, 7-diene-3, 17-dione (X) is described. The latter compound is transformed directly into equilin by a microbiological dehydrogenation process with Cor~ nebacteriumsimplex, thus representing the first synthesis of this important female sex hormone. Alternate attempts to synthesise equilin are discussed.
