title: Steroids 51. An improved synthesis of ORG 2058 and the synthesis of [3H]ORG 2058.
abstract: 16 alpha-Ethyl-21-hydroxy-19-norpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione (ORG 2058) is a ligand widely used in progesterone receptor assays. An improved synthesis of the compound is reported, starting from norethisterone acetate. The preparation of the tritiated radioligand [3H]ORG 2058 is also described.
