Abstract

We set out to describe a new and efficient route for preparing Ulipristal acetate with a good yield. The selected epoxidization conditions gave out 80% of 5α,10α-epoxide 2a in the two diastereoisomers which greatly improved the yield of 11β-substituted isomer 4a. And phenyl–sulfinyl compound 6 was synthesized from ketone 5 directly treated with phenylsulfenyl chloride in the presence of triethylamine. These synthetic procedures is only 8 steps, less than currently reported in the literature, but more suitable for industrial process.
