17β-Acetoxyoestra-4,6-dien-3-one reacts with allyltrimethylsilane in the presence of fluoride ion to give the 7α- and 7β-allyloestr-4-en-3-ones in low yield.With titanium(IV) chloride catalysis, the 7α-allyloestr-4-en-3-one is the only product at -78 deg C, but its novel 6β,6'β-'dimer' is also formed at higher temperatures.The isomeric 7-allyloestr-4-en-3-ones have been aromatised to give 7α- and 7β-allyloestradiols.
