Clinical Analysis on Steroids. XIV. Preparation of 2-Hydroxyestradiol 17β-Conjugates

Abstract
To investigate the 17.beta.-substituent effect upon enzymatic O-methylation of catechol estrogen, substrates, e.g., 2-hydroxyestradiol 17.beta.-sulfate and the corresponding glucuronide, were prepared. The former was obtained by catalytic reduction of potassium 2,3-dibenzyloxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17.beta.-yl sulfate. The latter conjugate was prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of methyl-[2,3-dibenzyloxyestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17.beta.-yl-2,3,4-tri-O-acetyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranosid]uronate, followed by catalytic reduction.
