Abstract

4-Bromo-3 : 11-diketo-17(b )-hydroxy-20 : 21-diacyloxypregnanes (in which the acyl groups preferably correspond to an aliphatic acid containing not more than 6 carbon atoms in the molecule) are manufactured by treating a 3 : 11 - diketo - 17(b ) - hydroxy - 20 : 21 - diacyloxy pregnane with a substantially equimolecular proportion of bromine, preferably in an inert solvent. The product may be isolated by dissolving the reaction mixture in ether, washing with dilute alkali or alkali meta carbonate solution, evaporating to dryness in vacuo and recrystallizing from ether, and may be treated with a tertiary base to produce a D 4,5-3 : 11-diketo-17(b )-hydroxy-20 : 21-diacyloxypregnene, which on hydrolysis yields D 4,5-3 : 11-diketo-17(b ) : 20 : 21-trihydroxypregnene. In an example, 3 : 11-diketo-17(b )-hydroxy-20 : 21-diacetoxypregnane is treated with bromine in glacial acetic acid, and the resulting 4-bromo derivative is isolated and refluxed in pyridine to form D 4,5 - 3 : 11 - diketo - 17(b ) - hydroxy -20 : 21-diacetoxypregnene, from which the trihydroxy compound may be produced by hydrolysis with an aqueous methanolic solution of potassium carbonate and bicarbonate. Additional starting materials specified are those in which the acyl groups are those of propionic, butyric, valeric, caproic, capric, benzoic, toluic and phenylacetic acids. Specification 628,255 is referred to.
