Long-acting contraceptive agents: cyclopropyl and cyclobutyl esters of norethisterone.
Several esters of norethisterone (17 alpha-ethynyl-17 beta-hydroxyestr-4-en-3-one) with carboxylic acids containing a cyclopropyl or cyclobutyl ring have been synthesized and the stereochemistries of the side-chains determined.
