✦ Synopsis
We have been interested' in the study of the reactivity of 17~4_, 20;20,21-bismethylenedioxy-l9-norpregns-l,3,5(10),9(l1~ -tetraen-3-yl methyl ether(I)* In the present communication we wish to report an unusual reaotion aourse Of(l) with I-bromsuco$ni&de, When (I) was refluxed with NBS in CC14 solution in the presence of azobieisobutyronitrile (AIBN) for 10 minute8 a complex mixture ~88 obtained. Repeated chromatography and crystallization from methanol hucnished five compounds (II-VII, whose 8i2FUCm coala be deduced from their analytical and spectral characteristics. The result8 are depioted in chart 1, and the physical oharacteristics of the oompounds (II-VI) are su.mmarised below:
