Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von neuen Hydroxycarbonsäureestern der Pregnanreihe Gegenstand des Hauptpatentes 1090 660 ist ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von neuen 21-Hydroxycarbonsäureestern der Pregnanreihe, das dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, daß man 21-Halogenderivate von Verbindungen der Pregnanreihe in Gegenwart eines inerten organischen Lösungsmittels oder Suspendierungsmittels mit Alkalisalzen von Hydroxycarbonsäuren umsetzt.Process for the production of new hydroxycarboxylic acid esters of the Pregnan series The subject of the main patent 1090 660 is a process for the production of new 21-Hydroxycarboxylic acid esters of the Pregnan series, which is characterized in that 21-halogen derivatives of compounds of the Pregnan series in the presence of an inert organic solvent or suspending agent with alkali salts of hydroxycarboxylic acids.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß man derartige Steroid-21-hydroxycarbonsäureester in guten Ausbeuten auch dadurch erhält, daß man 21-Sulfonsäureester der 21-Hydroxypregnanreihe in Gegenwart eines inerten organischen Lösungs- oder Suspendierungsmittels, vorzugsweise in Dimethylformamid, mit Alkalisalzen von Hydroxycarbonsäuren umsetzt.It has now been found that such steroid 21-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters can be obtained Also obtained in good yields by 21-sulfonic acid esters of the 21-hydroxypregnane series in the presence of an inert organic solvent or suspending agent, preferably in dimethylformamide, with alkali metal salts of hydroxycarboxylic acids.

Die erfindungsgemäß zu verwendenden Alkalisalze der Hydroxycarbonsäuren sind dadurch erhältlich, daß man ein Alkalialkoholat in einem Lösungsmittel, z. B. Methanol oder Äthanol, im Molverhältnis 1 : 1 mit der entsprechenden Hydroxycarbonsäure zusammengibt und aus diesem Reaktionsgemisch mit einem inerten Lösungsmittel wie Aceton, Benzol, Tetrahydrofuran oder Dioxan das Alkalisalz ausfällt. Das Alkalisalz wird gut im Vakuum getrocknet und in einer Kugelmühle pulverisiert.The alkali metal salts of the hydroxycarboxylic acids to be used according to the invention can be obtained by adding an alkali metal alcoholate in a solvent, e.g. B. methanol or ethanol, in a molar ratio of 1: 1 with the corresponding hydroxycarboxylic acid and precipitates the alkali salt from this reaction mixture with an inert solvent such as acetone, benzene, tetrahydrofuran or dioxane. The alkali salt is dried well in vacuo and pulverized in a ball mill.

Als 21-Sulfonsäureester von 21-Hydroxysteroiden verwendet man zweckmäßig die Mesylate, jedoch sind auch Tosylate und Benzolsulfonate für die Reaktion geeignet. Als Steroidsulfonsäureester kommen z. B. folgende in Betracht: A 4-Pregnen-21-ol-3,20-dion-21-mesylat, A 4-Pregnen- 1 7oc,21-diol-3,11,20-trion-21-mesylat, A 4-Pregnen- 17oc,21 -diol-3,11,20-trion-21-tosylat, 6oc-Methyl-A 1,4-pregnadien-1 Iß, 17a,21-triol-3,20-dion-2 1 -mesylat, A 4_Pregnen- 1 Iß, 17,x-21 -triol-3,20-dion-2 1-mesylat, A 1, 4-Pregnen- 1 Iß, 1 7o#,21 -triol-3,20-dion. Die Veresterung erfolgt zweckmäßig, indem man die Sulfonsäureester der Steroide in Acetonitril, Dimethylsulfon, vorteilhaft in Dimethylformamid löst oder suspendiert und mit dem Alkalisalz der Hydroxycarbonsäure unter Rühren erwärmt. Man verwendet vorzugsweise einen geringen Überschuß an Alkalisalz. Die Reaktionszeit beträgt im allgemeinen 1 bis 5 Stunden, am besten jedoch 21/, Stunden. Die Reaktionstemperatur liegt im allgemeinen zwischen 30 und 100'C, insbesondere sind Temperaturen um 60'C geeignet.The mesylates are expediently used as 21-sulfonic acid esters of 21-hydroxysteroids, but tosylates and benzenesulfonates are also suitable for the reaction. As steroid sulfonic acid esters, for. B., the following: A 4-pregnene-21-ol-3,20-dione 21-mesylate, A 4-pregnen 7oC 1, 21-diol-3,11,20-trione 21-mesylate, A 4-pregnene-17oc, 21-diol-3,11,20-trione-21-tosylate, 6oc-methyl-A 1,4-pregnadiene-1β, 17a, 21-triol-3,20-dione-2 1 -mesylate, A 4_Pregnen- 1 Iß, 17, x-21 -triol-3,20-dione-2 1-mesylate, A 1, 4-pregnen- 1 Iß, 1 7o #, 21 -triol-3.20- dion. The esterification is expediently carried out by dissolving or suspending the sulfonic acid esters of the steroids in acetonitrile, dimethyl sulfone, advantageously in dimethylformamide, and heating them with the alkali metal salt of the hydroxycarboxylic acid with stirring. A slight excess of alkali salt is preferably used. The reaction time is generally 1 to 5 hours, but best 21 /, hours. The reaction temperature is generally between 30 and 100.degree. C., temperatures around 60.degree . C. are particularly suitable.

Als Hydroxycarbonsäuren kommen insbesondere die Abkömmlinge der Rizinolsäure und der Stearinsäure sowie andere längerkettige (C, bis C") Hydroxyfettsäuren in Frage. Beispiel 1 6cc-Methyl-A 1, 4-pregnadien- 1 Iß, 17oc,2 1 -triol-3,20-dion-12'-hydroxystearat-(21) Eine innige Mischung aus 4,52 g 6oc-Methyl-A 1, 4_pregnadien- 1 Iß, 17oc,21 -triol-3,20-dion-21 -mesylat und 4,23 g Kaliumsalz der 12'-Hydroxystearinsäure werden in 50 ml Dimethylformamid suspendiert und 21/, Stunden in einer Stickstoffatmosphäre und unter Rühren auf 60'C erwärmt. Das Reaktionsgemisch wird anschließend in 300 ml Wasser eingerührt. Der Ester wird mit Methylenchlorid-Äther extrahiert und nach dem Abdampfen des Lösungsmittels durch Zugabe von Petroläther zur Kristallisation gebracht.As hydroxycarboxylic acids are, in particular the derivatives of ricinoleic acid and of stearic acid, and other long-chain (C, to C ") hydroxy fatty acids in question. Example 1 6cc-methyl-A 1, 4-pregnadiene 1 Eat, 17oc, 2 1-triol-3, 20-dione-12'-hydroxystearate- (21) An intimate mixture of 4.52 g of 6oc-methyl-A 1, 4_pregnadien- 1 Iß, 17oc, 21-triol-3,20-dione-21-mesylate and 4, 23 g of the potassium salt of 12'-hydroxystearic acid are suspended in 50 ml of dimethylformamide and heated for 21 1/2 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere and with stirring to 60 ° C. The reaction mixture is then stirred into 300 ml of water after evaporation of the solvent brought to crystallization by adding petroleum ether.

Es werden so 6,1 g 6#x-Methyl-A 1, 4-pregnadien-1 Iß,17cc,21-triol-3,20-dion-12'-hydroxystearat-(21) vom Fp. 87'C (Kofler-Schmelzbank) erhalten.This gives 6.1 g of 6 # x-methyl-A 1, 4-pregnadiene-1 Iß, 17cc, 21-triol-3,20-dione-12'-hydroxystearate (21) with a melting point of 87'C ( Kofler melting bank).

Nach dem Abkühlen des Reaktionsgemisches wird in 300 ml Wasser ein-; gerührt. Der entstandene Ester wird mit 3 - 25 ml Äther extrahiert. Nach dem Trocknen über Natriumsulfat wird der Extrakt im Vakuum und zum Schluß im Hochvakuum bei gO'C zur Trockne eingeengt.Example 2 A4mPregnen-21-ol-3,20-dione-12'-hydroxystearate- (21) 4.02 g A4_Pregnen-21-ol-3,20-dione-21-mesylate and 4.20 g of 12'-hydroxystearic acid potassium salt mixed well, mixed with 50 ml of dimethylformamide and heated to 60 ° C. for 31/2 hours with stirring and in a nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction mixture has cooled, it is poured into 300 ml of water; touched. The resulting ester is extracted with 3 - 25 ml of ether. After drying over sodium sulfate, the extract is concentrated to dryness in vacuo and finally in a high vacuum at gO'C.

Es werden so 5,7g A4-Pregnen-21-ol-3,20-dion-12'-hydroxystearat-(21) als Öl erhalten.This gives 5.7 g of A4-pregnen-21-ol-3,20-dione-12'-hydroxystearate (21) as an oil .
