The 3‐methoxy‐1 1‐oxaestrone ( 13 ) has been synthetized from estrone ( 3 ) following an approach that involves the ring‐C fragmentation of the estrogenic skeleton by dye‐sensitized photo‐oxygenation of the properly C(17)‐protected 9,11‐didehydroestrone derivative 6 as the key step. The C(13)‐side‐chain degradation of the 9‐oxo‐9,11‐seco‐aldehyde 7 followed by reduction to the 9β, 12‐diol 10 and further cyclization yields the 11‐oxaestrogenic skeleton. By this procedure, 13 is obtained in 9 steps from 3 with a non‐optimized overall yield of ca. 15%.
