title: Cycloalkanones. 6. Separation of hypocholesterolemic and antifertility activities in derivatives of 2,8-dibenzylcyclooctanone.
abstract: Fluoro and hydroxy derivatives of 2,8-dibenzylcyclooctanone were prepared. Separation of antifertility activity from hypolipidemic and uterotropic effects was achieved with 2,8-bis(4-acetoxybenzyl)cyclooctanone. Some enhancement of the hypolipidemic effect in relation to the uterotropic and antifertility activities was seen in 2,8-bis(4-fluorobenzyl)cyclooctanone. Synthetic methods for the hydroxy compounds are presented.
