Abstract
Description
(1) Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a key chiral intermediate of levonorgestrel by biological reduction of Geotrichum candidum ZJPH1704 strain. (2) Background technology
[0002] Ethyl condensate (chemical name: 2-[2-(3,4-dihydro-6-methoxy-1(2H)-naphthylidene)ethyl]-2-ethylcyclopentane-1, 3-Diketone, CAS No.: 850-92-0) structural formula:
[0003]
[0004] Ethyl Hydroxide (chemical name: 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-2-[2-(6-methoxy-3,4-dihydro-1(2H)-naphthalene) ethyl]cyclopenta Ketone, CAS number: 51773-49-0) structural formula:
[0005]
[0006] Ethyl hydroxylate is used in the synthesis of progesterone drug levonorgestrel (chemical name: D(-)-17α-ethynyl-17β-hydroxy-18-methylestr-4-en-3-one) The key chiral intermediate of the drug, the drug mainly acts on the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, has good progesterone activity, and a strong ability to bind to androgen receptors. Used in combination with estrogen, it can be used as short-a...
