worin Xj Chlor oder Fluor, X2 Brom oder Chlor und Ac den Acylrest einer Carbonsäure darstellt. where Xj represents chlorine or fluorine, X2 bromine or chlorine and Ac represents the acyl radical of a carboxylic acid.

Nachstehend mit «nieder» bezeichnete kohlenstoffhaltige 30 Verbindungen und Reste enthalten vorzugsweise bis und mit 7 Kohlenstoffatome. Carbon-containing compounds and radicals hereinafter referred to as “lower” preferably contain up to and with 7 carbon atoms.

Eine Acylgruppe Ac leitet sich vorzugsweise von den in der Steroidchemie gebräuchlichen Carbonsäuren mit 1 bis 18 Kohlenstoffatomen, insbesondere von ensprechenden aliphatischen, 35 cycloaliphatischen, 1 cycloaliphatisch-aliphatischen, aromatischen oder araliphatischen Carbonsäuren ab. Der Rest Ac ist insbesondere ein geradkettiges oder verzweigtes Niederalkano-yl, z.B. Acetyl, Propionyl, Butyryl, Isobutyryl, Valeryl, Isovale-ryl, Pivaloyl, 2-Äthyl-butyryl, 2,2- oder 3,3-Dimethyl-butyryl, 40 Hexanoyl oder Heptanoyl, aber auch ein Hydroxyniederalkano-yl, z.B. 3-Hydroxypropionyl, Phenoxyniederalkanoyl, z.B. Phenoxyacetyl, Halogenniederalkanoyl, z.B. Chloracetyl, oder Carboxyniederalkanoyl, z.B. 3-Carboxy-propionyl oder 4-Carboxy-butyryl, Alkenoyl, z.B. Undecylenoyl, Cycloalkyl-45 niederalkanoyl, z.B. Cyclopentyl-propionyl oder Cyclohexyl-acetyl, gegebenenfalls substituiertes Benzoyl, z.B. Benzoyl, oder gegebenenfalls substituiertes Phenylniederalkanoyl oder -niederalkenoyl, z.B. Phenylacetyl. An acyl group Ac is preferably derived from the carboxylic acids with 1 to 18 carbon atoms customary in steroid chemistry, in particular from corresponding aliphatic, 35 cycloaliphatic, 1 cycloaliphatic-aliphatic, aromatic or araliphatic carboxylic acids. The radical Ac is in particular a straight-chain or branched lower alkano-yl, e.g. Acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, isobutyryl, valeryl, isovalale, pivaloyl, 2-ethylbutyryl, 2,2- or 3,3-dimethylbutyryl, 40 hexanoyl or heptanoyl, but also a hydroxy-lower alkano-yl, e.g. 3-hydroxypropionyl, phenoxy lower alkanoyl, e.g. Phenoxyacetyl, halogeno lower alkanoyl e.g. Chloroacetyl, or carboxy lower alkanoyl, e.g. 3-carboxy-propionyl or 4-carboxy-butyryl, alkenoyl, e.g. Undecylenoyl, cycloalkyl-45 lower alkanoyl, e.g. Cyclopentyl-propionyl or cyclohexyl-acetyl, optionally substituted benzoyl, e.g. Benzoyl, or optionally substituted phenyl-lower alkanoyl or lower alkenoyl, e.g. Phenylacetyl.

Die erfingungsgemäss hergestellten Verbindungen besitzen so wertvolle pharmakologische Eigenschaften. So zeichnen sie sich durch eine hervorragende antiinflammatorische Wirksamkeit, z.B. bei lokaler Anwendung, aus, die sich z.B. im Rohwattegra-nulomtest an der Ratte in einem Dosisbereich von etwa 0,001 bis etwa 0,3 mg/Pellet nachweisen lässt. Bei gleicher Versuchs-55 anordnung sind die ersten Anzeichen einer systemischen Wirkung, z.B. die Abnahme des Körper- und insbesondere des Nebennieren- und Thymus-Gewichts, erst oberhalb der Dosis von 0,3 mg/Pellet bemerkbar. Wegen der günstigen Verteilung der biologischen Eigenschaften sind die neuen Verbindungen in al-60 len Indikationen, für die sich Glucocorticoide mit entzündungshemmenden Eigenschaften eignen, insbesondere jedoch als lokal anzuwendende antiinflammatorische Glucocorticoide, z.B. zur Behandlung von entzündlichen Dermatosen, wie Ekzemen, Dermatiden, oder partiell corticoidresistenden Dermatosen, 65 z.B. Psoriasis, verwendbar. Sie können zudem als wertvolle Zwischenprodukte zur Herstellung anderer nützlicher Stoffe, insbesondere anderer pharmakologisch wirksamer Steroide, Anwendung finden. The compounds produced according to the invention thus have valuable pharmacological properties. They are characterized by excellent anti-inflammatory effectiveness, e.g. with local application, which e.g. in the raw cotton wool test on the rat in a dose range of about 0.001 to about 0.3 mg / pellet. With the same experimental arrangement, the first signs of a systemic effect, e.g. the decrease in body and especially adrenal and thymus weight, only noticeable above the dose of 0.3 mg / pellet. Because of the favorable distribution of the biological properties, the new compounds are in all-60 indications for which glucocorticoids with anti-inflammatory properties are suitable, but especially as locally applicable anti-inflammatory glucocorticoids, e.g. for the treatment of inflammatory dermatoses, such as eczema, dermatids, or partially corticoid-resistant dermatoses, 65 e.g. Psoriasis, usable. They can also be used as valuable intermediates for the production of other useful substances, in particular other pharmacologically active steroids.

Die Aufspaltung der 9ß, llß-Oxidogruppe in einem Ausgangsmaterial der Formel II durch Behandeln mit einem Halogenwasserstoff der Formel HXj, d.h. mit Chlorwasserstoff oder 25 Fluorwasserstoff, wird in an sich bekannterWeise vorgenommen, wobei man zweckmässig einen wasserfreien Halogenwasserstoff, gegebenenfalls in Gegenwart eines indifferenten Lösungsmittels, wie Chloroform, Tetrahydrofuran oder insbesondere Dimethylformamid, Fluorwasserstoff auch in wässriger Lö- 30 sung, verwendet.

Anstelle des Halogenwasserstoffs HXi kann man auch ein Fluorwasserstoff- oder Chlorwasserstoff-abgebendes Mittel, wie das Salz einer solchen Säure mit einer tertiären organischen Base (z.B. Pyridin) oder, insbesondere im Fall von Fluorwasser- 35 stoff, eine ähnliche geeignete Additionsverbindung verwenden. Ein besonders günstiges Verfahren wird im US-Patent Nr. 3 211 758 beschrieben, wonach man Fluorwasserstoff in Form eines Adduktes mit einem Carbaminsäure- oder Thiocarbamin-säure-Derivat, insbesondere mit Harnstoff, zur Anwendung 40 bringt. Instead of the hydrogen halide HXi, it is also possible to use a hydrogen fluoride or hydrogen chloride donor, such as the salt of such an acid with a tertiary organic base (e.g. pyridine) or, particularly in the case of hydrogen fluoride, a similar suitable addition compound. A particularly favorable process is described in US Pat. No. 3,211,758, according to which hydrogen fluoride is used in the form of an adduct with a carbamic acid or thiocarbamic acid derivative, in particular with urea.
