3-[(3AS,4S,7AS)-7A-METHYL-1,5-DIOXOOCTAHYDRO-1H-INDEN-4-YL]PROPIONIC ACID

1,5-Dioxo-7aβ-methyl-3aα-hexahydroindane-4α-propionic Acid, can be used for the novel and concise synthesis of 19-Nor-10-azasteroids, a new class of steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors.

ChEBI: 9,17-dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oic acid is a dioxo monocarboxylic acid that consists of hydrindane bearing two oxo substituents at positions 1 and 5, a methyl substituent at position 7a and a 2-carboxyethyl substituent at position 4 (3aS,4S,7aS-diastereomer). It has a role as a bacterial metabolite. It is a diketone, a dioxo monocarboxylic acid and a carbobicyclic compound. It is a conjugate acid of a 9,17-dioxo-1,2,3,4,10,19-hexanorandrostan-5-oate. It derives from a hydride of a hydrindane.
