Description

Method for preparing 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of medical environment chemical industry, and particularly relates to a method for preparing 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone.
Background
The 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone is an important steroid drug intermediate, and can be used for synthesizing steroid drugs such as cortisone acetate, hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, fluocinolone, uterus series and the like. The 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone is white or off-white crystalline powder, the melting point is 212-220 ℃, and the structural formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0002672235670000011
the traditional synthesis method of 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone takes saponin (diene) as a raw material and prepares the saponin through oxygen bridge, Wolff oxidation, bromination and debromination, and has the defects of long synthesis route, dangerous reaction, serious pollution, low yield, high cost and the like, so the synthesis route is basically eliminated.
At present, 17 alpha-hydroxyprogesterone is mainly synthesized by taking 4-androstenedione as a raw material.

Generally, the molar yield of 17 α -hydroxyprogesterone IV prepared from compound I is about 82%, which is relatively low. The result of the low yield is mainly caused by the following problems:
