Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von 4-Hydroxy-3-keto-44steroiden der Androstan- bzw. der 19-Nor-androstan-Reihe Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Verfahren zur Herstellung von 4-Hydroxy-3-ketod 4-steroiden der Androstan- bzw. der 19-Nor-androstan-Reihe.Process for the production of 4-hydroxy-3-keto-44steroids of the androstan- or the 19-nor-androstane series. The present invention relates to a method for the production of 4-hydroxy-3-ketod 4-steroids of the androstane and 19-nor-androstane series.

Es wurde gefunden, daß 4-Chlor-3-keto-44-androstene (I) der lOß-Methyl- bzw. 19-Nor-Reihe, mit einem Alkalihydroxyd in einem aliphatischen tertiären Alkohol unter Inertgasatmosphäre behandelt, direkt in einer einzigen Stufe die entsprechenden 4-Hydroxy-3-keto-d 4-androstene ergeben.It has been found that 4-chloro-3-keto-44-androstene (I) is the lOß-methyl or 19-Nor series, with an alkali hydroxide in an aliphatic tertiary alcohol treated under an inert gas atmosphere, the corresponding directly in a single stage 4-Hydroxy-3-keto-d 4-androstene result.

Nach der vorliegenden Erfindung werden 4-Chlor-3-keto-44-steroide der Androstan- bzw. der 19-Norandrostan-Reihe (nach B. C a m e r i n o und Mitarbeiter hergestellt: belgische Patentschriften 549701, 552152, 552 153 und 557 735) in einem aliphatischen tert.-Alkohol, wie in tert.-Butylalkohol oder tert.-Amylalkohol gelöst und mit einem Überschuß an wäßrigem Alkalihydroxyd, wie Natriumhydroxyd oder Kaliumhydroxyd, in inerter Atmosphäre, wie Stickstoff, in der Wärme, vorzugsweise bei der Rückflußtemperatur des verwendeten Alkohols während eines Zeitraumes von wenigen Minuten bis einigen Stunden, umgesetzt. Hierauf wird das Reaktionsgemisch mit organischen Säuren, wie Essigsäure, oder mit anorganischen verdünnten Säuren neutralisiert, dann mit Wasser verdünnt, und das Steroid wird vorzugsweise durch Extrahieren mit einem üblichen, mit Wasser unmischbaren organischen Lösungsmittel in an sich bekannter Weise isoliert.According to the present invention there are 4-chloro-3-keto-44-steroids the androstane or 19-norandrostane series (after B. C a m e r i n o and co-workers manufactured: Belgian patents 549701, 552152, 552 153 and 557 735) in one aliphatic tertiary alcohol, such as dissolved in tertiary butyl alcohol or tertiary amyl alcohol and with an excess of aqueous alkali hydroxide, such as sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, in an inert atmosphere, such as nitrogen, in the warm, preferably at the reflux temperature of the alcohol used over a period of a few minutes to a few Hours, implemented. The reaction mixture is then treated with organic acids, such as Acetic acid, or neutralized with inorganic dilute acids, then with water diluted, and the steroid is preferably extracted by extracting with a conventional, water-immiscible organic solvents isolated in a manner known per se.

Die so erhaltenen rohen Produkte, d. h. 4-Hydroxy-3-keto-44-androstene der lOß-Methyl- bzw. 19-Nor-Reihe, können entweder durch Kristallisieren aus organischen Lösungsmitteln oder durch Chromatographie an adsorbierenden Substanzen, wie Florisil (Handelsmarke), und darauffolgendes Eluieren und Kristallisieren weitergereinigt werden, oder sie können zur Weiterverarbeitung durch Acylierung der anwesenden sek.-Hydroxygruppen mit dem Chlorid oder Anhydrid einer organischen Säure, gegebenenfalls in Anwesenheit tert.-Amine, und darauffolgende Reinigung nach den üblichen Verfahren in ihre Acylderivate übergeführt werden.The raw products thus obtained, i.e. H. 4-hydroxy-3-keto-44-androstene the lOß-Methyl- or 19-Nor series, can either by crystallization from organic Solvents or by chromatography on adsorbing substances, such as Florisil (Trade mark), and subsequent elution and crystallization further purified or they can be used for further processing by acylation of the secondary hydroxyl groups present with the chloride or anhydride of an organic acid, optionally in the presence tert-amines, and subsequent purification according to the usual methods into their acyl derivatives be transferred.

Die 4-Hydroxy-3-keto-44-steroide der Androstan-bzw. der 19-Nor-androstan-Reihe sind in der Therapie als anabole und androgene Stoffe nützlich.The 4-hydroxy-3-keto-44-steroids of the androstane or. the 19-nor-androstane series are useful in therapy as anabolic and androgenic substances.
