A new type of steroids with a cyclobutane fragment in the AB-ring moiety.
The synthesis of a 5,10-seco steroid containing two double bonds in a AB-macrocycle as well as the preparation of a steroidal skeleton with a cyclobutane fragment is described. The structures of these compounds are different from those of natural steroids, but they are very similar with respect to conformation of the carbon skeleton.
