Abstract: 5,6,7,12-Tetrahydro-5,12-methanodibenz[c,f]azocines substituted in the 6-position by a di(lower)alkylaminoacetyl or a di(lower)alkylaminoethyl group inhibit stress-induced ulcers. Also described are intermediates and processes for preparing the anti-ulcer compounds.

Abstract: An efficient, one-step process for preparing 13-alkyl-17.alpha. alkyl, alkenyl, or alkynyl-17.beta.-acyloxy-4-en-3-one steroids from their corresponding 13-alkyl-17.alpha.-substituted-3-alkoxygona-2,5(10)-dien-17.beta.-ols is disclosed. Products of the instant process possess, for example, progestational activity.
