Description

  

      Procédé    de préparation du 3a,     21-diacétoxy-11,20-dicéto-12a,    15,     21-tribromo-416-prégnène.       La     prëscnte    invention se rapporte à un  procédé de préparation du     3a,21-diacétoxy-          11,20    -     dicéto        -12a,1.5,    21-     tribromo    -     d        i6    -     pré-          gnène    (II), avec de bons rendements, à par  tir du 3a,21.

   -     diacétoxy    -1.1,20 -     dicéto        -12a-          brorno-prégnane    (I). Ce procédé est caracté-         risé    en ce qu'on traite du     3a,21-diacétoxy-          11,    20 -     dicéto    -12a -     bromo    -     prégnane    (I) au  moyen de brome au sein d'un solvant polaire,  dans des conditions pratiquement anhydres  et en     présence    d'acide bromhydrique.

           1.;1        réaction    est     illii>;trée    par les formules  
EMI0001.0028     
         Comme        solv.Lnt    polaire, on peut employer  un acide aliphatique inférieur, de préférence  de     l'aeide    acétique ou du     dioxane.     



  Le composé obtenu est nouveau; il peut  être     utilisé    pour préparer la cortisone,     ainsi     que l'illustre ce qui suit: Les atomes de       brome    des     positions   <B>15</B> et 21 du composé II  peuvent. être facilement enlevés, par exemple  par traitement au moyen d'acide     iodhydri-          que,    avec     formation    de     3a,21-dia.cétoxy-11,20-          dicéto-12a-broriro-4l6-prégnène,    qui peut.

   être    transformé en cortisone par diverses voies,       comportant        l'époxylation    de la double liai  son en position 16-17, la transformation du  composé     16,17-époxy    en composé     16-bromo-          17-hydroxy,    , le     bromage    en     position    4,     suivi     du     déshydrobromage    pour introduire une  double liaison en position 4-5 et l'élimina  tion des atomes de brome des positions 12 et  16. Ces opérations peuvent être effectuées  dans tout ordre approprié et de diverses ma  nières.

        <I>Exemple:</I>  1200     cm-'    d'acide acétique, on ajoute  20 cm- de bromure     d\aeétyle    et on élimine  sois pression réduite la majeure partie de  l'acide     bromhydrique.    Cette élimination n'est       toutefois    pas totale, du fait de la réaction  qui se poursuit lentement entre les deux  réactifs, de sorte que le mélange réactionnel  contient, après avoir été traité sous pression  réduite, une quantité faible, mais suffisante,

    d'acide     bromliydrique    pour catalyser le     bro-          ma.ge.    On constate toutefois que la réaction a  lieu plus facilement lorsque la plus grande  partie de l'acide     bromhi        drique    a été éliminée.  On ajoute ensuite 102 g de     3a,21-diacétoxi-          11,    20 -     dicéto    -12a -     bronro    -     prégnane    (I) et  1.0,2     cm-    de brome.

   Quand tout le brome a  été utilisé, on en rajoute 10,2     cuis,    et après  <U>eue</U> cette nouvelle quantité a été utilisée, on  en rajoute encore 10,2     cm-'    et on abandonne  au repos pendant 7 jours. On sépare par fil  tration les cristaux de composé II, on les lave  au     moven    d'acide acétique et d'éther sec. On  concentre la liqueur mère à un faible volume,  on ajoute du benzène et on l'élimine sous  pression réduite.

   L'addition d'éther donne  une nouvelle quantité du composé (II), le         3a,21    -     diacétoxy    -11, 20 -     dicéto        -.12a,15,    21-     tri-          bromo-.Jl6-prégnène,    qui     présente    les carac  téristiques suivantes:     point    de fusion 231 à       :.'32         C,;        aD    -     --62         (CHC''ls)    ;     e    235     nia    = 8700  (éther). Rendement. global.: 7501o.  



       1,a    nouvelle substance obtenue par le pro  cédé selon l'invention se décompose     graduelle-          rr;ent,        même    en absence d'air. La nature des       produits    de décomposition n'est pas connue.



      A process for the preparation of 3a, 21-diacetoxy-11,20-diketo-12a, 15, 21-tribromo-416-pregnene. The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of 3a, 21-diacetoxy- 11,20 - diketo -12a, 1.5, 21- tribromo - d i6 - pregnene (II), with good yields, from 3a, 21.

   - diacetoxy -1.1,20 - diketo -12a-brorno-pregnan (I). This process is characterized in that 3a, 21-diacetoxy-11, 20-diketo -12a-bromo-pregnan (I) is treated with bromine in a polar solvent under substantially anhydrous conditions. and in the presence of hydrobromic acid.

           1.; 1 reaction is illustrated by the formulas
EMI0001.0028
         As the polar Lnt solvent, a lower aliphatic acid, preferably acetic acid or dioxane, can be employed.



  The compound obtained is new; it can be used to prepare cortisone, as shown in the following: Bromine atoms at positions <B> 15 </B> and 21 of compound II can. be easily removed, for example by treatment with hydriodic acid, with the formation of 3a, 21-dia.cetoxy-11,20-diketo-12a-broriro-4l6-pregnene, which can.

   be converted to cortisone by various routes including epoxylation of the double bond at position 16-17, conversion of 16,17-epoxy to 16-bromo-17-hydroxy compound, bromination at position 4, followed dehydrobromage to introduce a double bond at the 4-5 position and the removal of the bromine atoms from the 12 and 16 positions. These operations can be carried out in any suitable order and in various ways.

        <I> Example: </I> 1200 cm 3 of acetic acid, 20 cm 3 of ethyl bromide are added and most of the hydrobromic acid is removed under reduced pressure. This elimination is not complete, however, due to the reaction which continues slowly between the two reagents, so that the reaction mixture contains, after having been treated under reduced pressure, a small but sufficient quantity,

    hydrobromic acid to catalyze bromace. It is found, however, that the reaction proceeds more easily when most of the bromhideic acid has been removed. Then 102 g of 3a, 21-diacetoxi- 11, 20 - diketo -12a - bronro-pregnan (I) and 1.0.2 cm - of bromine are added.

   When all the bromine has been used, we add 10.2 bc, and after <U> had </U> this new quantity has been used, we add another 10.2 cm- 'and we leave to stand for 7 days. The crystals of compound II are separated by filtration, washed with acetic acid and dry ether. The mother liquor is concentrated to a small volume, benzene is added and removed under reduced pressure.

   The addition of ether gives a new amount of compound (II), 3a, 21 - diacetoxy -11, 20 - diketo -.12a, 15, 21-tri-bromo-.Jl6-pregnene, which exhibits the characteristics following: melting point 231 to: 32 C; aD - --62 (CHC''ls); e 235 nia = 8700 (ether). Yield. global .: 7501o.



       1, a new substance obtained by the process according to the invention gradually decomposes, even in the absence of air. The nature of the decomposition products is not known.
