✦ Synopsis
The preparation of A-ring steroidal 1,4-quinones involves m-CPBA / (BzO)20 / hv oxidation of estrone (or estradiol 17-acetate), acid rearrangement of the obtained quinol, and oxidation. A detailed NMR analysis of 1,4-quinones and their derivatives, as well as the results of preliminary antibacterial and cytotoxicity tests is presented.
