Abstract

The compounds of the formulae <IMAGE> wherein A is 2,2-dimethylpropylene, are useful in the synthesis of 19-norandrostenedione

Description

SPECIFICATION Tricyclic aliphatic diones This invention relates to tricyclic alkanones which may be used in the synthesis of 19norandrostenedione.
US-A-3646151 and US-A-4024166 disclose compounds of the formulae
wherein A is alkylidene and, specifically, ethylene, and their conversion to 1 9-norandrostenedione. The ethylene ketal of formula (A) is also disclosed in US-A-4158012.
Novel compounds according to the present invention are the enedione of formula (A), and the dione of formula (B), in which A is 2,2dimethylpropylene.
The novel enedione is prepared from the trione of the formula
which is disclosed and claimed in British Patent Application No 820571 2 (Serial No.
2116165). The trione, preferably without separation from the mixture which is prepared by the process described in GB-A-2116165, is dissolved in a solvent and refluxed with aqueous sodium carbonate for between 1 and 1 8 hours. Suitable solvents include methanol, ethanol, isopropanol and tert-butyl alcohol; methanol is preferred.
The enedione can be recovered from the reaction mixture by conventional methods such as evaporation, crystallisation, filtration and chromatography, and combinations thereof. The enedione has the feature that it is solid and can therefore easily be isolated as a pure product.
The novel dione is prepared by reducing the novel enedione. Methods for conducting this reduction are known in the art. The preferred method is by hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst such as palladium-on-carbon.
The novel dione can be used by dissolving it in a solvent and reacting it with a strong acid, to yield 1 9-norandrostenedione. Reaction conditions and methods for recovering the product from the reaction mixture are known in the art.
The following Examples 1 and 2 illustrate the invention, while Example 3 illustrates the utility of the dione.
Example 1 Enedione Ill The residue of the trione prepared in the Example of GB-B-2116165 is taken up in 50 ml methanol and stirred at gentle reflux under nitrogen for 5 minutes. Then 1.01 ml saturated aqueous sodium carbonate solution is added, and the mixture is stirred at reflux for 1 6 hours. TIc shows complete conversion of the trione to the enedione. The reaction mixture is allowed to cool to 25 C and is then added to 150 ml water and 10 ml of a saturated sodium chloride solution. This is extracted with two-100 ml portions of methylene chloride, and each organic layer is backwashed sequentially with 100 ml water. The combined organic layers are concentrated on a roto-evaporator to constant weight to provide 13.70 9 of colourless oil Ill; uv max (EtOH) 248 nm for = 9,270).Using an value of 14,470 for pure Ill, this oil represents a 78% chem. yeild of Ill from the dione-carboxylic acid VII (see GB-A-2116165).
The crude enedione is taken up in 50 ml hexane at 50 C. Slow cooling and seeding give solids which, after stirring at - 1 5 C for 1 5 minutes, are collected by filtration. The solids are washed with 50 ml of - 1 5' hexane and dried in vacuo at 45 C for 1 6 hours, to provide 7.54 g (67% yield from the dionecarboxylic acid) of the enedione, mp 90-91 C.Recrystallisation of a sample from 40% aqueous methanol gives the enedione as a solid melting at 92-93.5 C; H nmr (CDCl3) 83.50 (s, 4, -CH,-O), 1.40 (s, 3, CH,C(-O) (-O) -), 1.04 (s, 3, C,3Me) and 0.96 and 0.94 ppm (s,6,gem-dimethyl); uv max (EtOH) 248 nm ( = 14,470).
Example 2 Dione A 5.50 g aliquot of the trione from Example 1 in 35 ml methanol containing 200 mg 5% palladium-on-carbon (50% water wet) and 27 mg potassium hydroxide is hydrogenated at 13-22 C at atmospheric pressure for 11 2 hours. TIc indicates the reduction is complete.
The catalyst is removed by filtration and washed with methanol.
Example 3 1 9-Norandrostenedione The crude material of Example 2 is stirred at reflux under nitrogen for 5 minutes. 1.0 ml 6N hydrochloric acid is added. Over 4 hours, with stirring, the solution is then slowly concentrated by distillation, to approximately 25 ml. Tlc indicates the reaction is complete. The temperature is adjusted to 50 C and seeded.
Solids form slowly. After 1 5 minutes, 20 ml water are added. The slurry is allowed to stand at 10 C for 30 minutes. The solids are collected by filtration, washed with 10 ml cold 60% water-methanol and dried under reduced pressure at 50 C overnight to afford 1.99 g 1 9-norandrostenedione (61% yield from the dione-carboxylic acid), mp 166-168 C.
