Abstract

The conventional etherification uses toxic or hardly degradable alkylating agents. An eco-friendly tandem etherification/aromatization is presented to prepare estrone 3-secondary ethers from easily available dienone 1. Three marketed 3-etherified estrogen drugs were synthesized with the method from commercial available starting material.
