Abstract:	A-pot ethylnylation and catalytic desilylation reaction was developed for the synthesis of mestranol and levonorgestrel. Addition of trimethylsilylacetylide to the carbonyl group at C-17 of the steroids yielded the C-17a-trimethylsilylacetylenyl adducts, which were desilylated with a catalytic amount of TBAF (0.050 equiv) in one pot to provide the corresponding mestranol and levonorgestrel both in 90% yields. A plausible mechanism was proposed for the catalytic desilylation through regeneration of the fluoride ion from the reaction of alkoxide on the steroid with Me3SiF. The one-pot ethynylation and catalytic desilylation methodology provided an alternative route and avoided the traditional use of flammable and explosive acetylene toward the synthesis 01 mestranoi ana levonorgestrel.
