Abstract

The invention comprises an 11a ,17a -dihydroxypregnane - 3,20 - dione and an 11a -acyloxy derivative thereof wherein the acyl radical contains up to eight carbon atoms, and the preparation thereof by contacting a saturated secondary hydroxy-steroid containing no primary hydroxy group with an organic hypochlorite, e.g. t-butyl hypochlorite, under substantially anhydrous conditions to convert the secondary hydroxy group to a keto group. The reaction may be effected in the presence of an organic solvent, e.g. t-butyl alcohol, t-amyl alcohol, chloroform, ethylene dichloride, pentane or hexane at a temperature between about -20 DEG and 50 DEG C. As starting materials there may be used steroids having the formula: <FORM:0741014/IV(a)/1> wherein R1 represents H, a -hydroxy or an acyloxy ester; R2 is H or hydroxy; and R3 is acetyl or acyloxyacetyl. Examples disclose the production of pregnane-3,11,20-trione, 17a -hydroxy - 21 - acetoxypregnane - 3,11,20-trione, 17a - hydroxypregnane - 3,11,20-trione, cholestan - 3 - one, allopregnane-3-11-20 - trione, 17a - hydroxy - 21 - bromopregnane - 3,11,20 - trione, 11a - hydroxypregnane - 3,20 - dione, 21 - chloro - 17a -hydroxypregnane - 3,11,20 - trione, 11a ,17a -dihydroxypregnane - 3,20 - dione, 11a - acetoxy-17a - hydroxypregnane - 3,20 - dione, 11a , 21 - diacetoxy - 17a - hydroxypregnane - 3,20-dione. Specifications 738,611, 739,175 and 740,987 are referred to. 21 - Bromo - 3a or b , 11a or b , 17a - trihydroxypregnan - 20 - one is obtained by treating 3a or b , 11a or b , 17a -trihydroxypregnan-20-one with bromine in chloroform. 21-Acetoxy-3a or b , 11a or b , 17a -trihydroxypregnan-20-one is obtained by heating 21-bromo-3a or b , 11a or b , 17a -trihydroxy-pregnan - 20 - one with anhydrous potassium acetate in the presence of a trace of potassium iodide. 11a ,21 - Diacetoxy - 3a ,17a - dihydroxypregnan-20-one is obtained from 21-bromo-11a - acetoxy - 3a ,17a - dihydroxypregnan-20-one.
