Boldione, also known as androstadienedione or 1-dehydroandrostenedione, as well as 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione, is an important industrial precursor for various steroid hormones. In the United States the chemical is regulated as a Schedule III Controlled Substance.
==Uses== Androstadienedione is an important industrial-scale precursor for a wide variety of steroid hormones within the estrane and androstane classifications. For example, boldione was recently used in the synthesis of estrogen. Additionally, it has been used in the synthesis of testolactone (via a Baeyer-villiger rearrangement) and of atamestane. Boldione was used in a synthesis of 1-Testosterone.
