Abstract

The invention provides an improved process for the preparation of a halogenated steroidal diene. The process involves the simultaneous transformation of the steroidal 3-one to 3-halo and 17-carboxylic acid to 17-carboxamide in a single reaction without the isolation of an intermediate. The process takes place by reacting the steroidal starting material with a halogen-Vilsmeier reagent.

Description

,3~'W093/141~6 ~ 7 .;~ 7 2 PCT/US93~00079 "HALOGENATION USING HALO-VILSMEIER REAGENT".

ilThe present invention relates to an improved process for the preparation of substituted steroidaI
dienes. Such compounds are described ~ US Paten- Nc.

Back~ro~n~ Sh~_Inv~on.

Processes for the preparation of substituted steroidal diene derivatives, have previously been described. In particular the use of oxalyl bromide .o convert steroidal ~,~-unsaturated-3 ke~ones to 3-bromo-3,5-diene intermediates ~in 40% yield) followed by catalytic or alkyllithium mediated carboxylation (in 1~%
yield when N-butyl lithium was used) to yield steroidal-3,5-diene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives is reported in US Patent No. 5,017,568.
;
In addition to a low o~erall yield, another shortcoming of this disclosure is that oxalyl bromide is a toxic, expensive liquid which is dif-icult to store and is no~ readily available in the buIk amounts neeàed for an industrial process.
The use of oxalyl chloride to haloqenate steroida`
~ unsaturated ketones to chloro-steroidal dienes proceeds wi~h only marginal results. Furthermore, the ~, relatively low reactivity of~the res-lLtan. chloro~
substituent poses non-trivial synthetic oonsidera~ions in subsequent transformations.~ Thus~, there is a need in the ar; for a safe, economical and reLiable method t_ halogena~e steroidal ~,~-unsaturated ketones to haIc-1,3-dienes.

A process according to claim 23 in which the halogen-vilsmeier reagent is prepared by reacting, preferably at reduced temperatures, a chloride source such as oxalyl chloride or thionyl chloride, with a disubstituted formamide reagent, such as a dialkyl substitued formamide reagent preferably dimethylformamide, in an appropriate solvent, preferably methylene chloride, to form a chloro-Vilsmeier reagent, said chloro-Vilsmeier reagent being reacted in situ, preferably at reduced temperatures, with a bromide source or an iodide source, preferably hydrogen bromide gas.
