Potential long-acting contraceptive agents: esters and ethers of testosterone with alpha- and/or beta-chain branching

Steroids. 1985 Dec;46(6):947-53. doi: 10.1016/s0039-128x(85)80002-7.

Abstract

The synthesis of ten esters and two ethers of testosterone (17 beta-hydroxyandrost-4-en-3-one) is described. All these possess some form of alpha - and/or beta - substitution in the ester/ether side-chain. The work was undertaken in order to evaluate the long-acting antifertility effect of such compounds in males.
