Abstract

The invention comprises 2,4b-dimethyl-polyhydro phenanthrenes of the formul <FORM:0763949/IV(b)/1> <FORM:0763949/IV(b)/2> (where R represents <FORM:0763949/IV(b)/3> or = O; and in formula I the 7-position is occupied by a divalent group (or a pair of univalent groups) convertible to a keto group by acid hydrolysis; and in formula II by a univalent group convertible to a keto group by acid hydrolysis); the corresponding 7-keto compounds, and processes for the preparation of I and II by (a) ozonizing the corresponding 2-methyl-2-methallyl compounds and reducing the ozonide produced, or (b) treating the corresponding 2 - methyl - 2 - (b : g - dihydroxyisobutyl)-compounds with a glycolsplitting agent, e.g. periodic acid, lead tetraacetate, phenyliodoso acetate. The substituent(s) in position 7, e.g. ethylene ketal, ethylene hemithioketal, dimethyl ketal, or ethyl enol ether, can then be converted to a keto group by hydrolysis with acid. In examples: (1) 2,4b - dimethyl - 2 - methyallyl - 1 - keto - 4 - hydroxy - 7 - ethylenedioxy - 1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6, 7,8,10,10a - dodecahydrophenanthtene in ethyl acetate-methanol is ozonized at - 75 DEG C., the product decomposed with zinc and acetic acid and 2,4b-dimethyl-2-acetonyl-1-keto-4-hydroxy-7 - ethylenedioxy - 1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6,7,8,10,10a-dodecahydrophenanthrene isolated with ether and purified by chromatography on alumina. Acid hydrolysis yields the corresponding 7-keto compound; (2) 2,4b-dimethyl-2-(b ,g -dihydroxyisobutyl) - 1,4 - diketo - 7 - ethylenedioxy - 1,2,3, 4,4a,4b,5,6,7,8,10,10a-dodecahydrophenanthrene in methanol-pyridine is oxidized with periodic acid to the corresponding 2,4b-dimethyl-2-acetonyl-derivative which is then hydrolysed with acid to the 1,4,7-triketo compound; (3) 2,4b - dimethyl - 2 - (b ,g - dihydroxy-isobutyl) - 1 - keto - 4 - hydroxy - 7 - ethylenedioxy - 1,2,3,4,4a,4b,5,6,7,8,10,10a - dodecahydrophenanthrene is treated as in (2) giving the corresponding 2-acetonyl derivative and on hydrolysis the 1,7-diketo compound. Specification 763,204, 763,208 and 763,950 are referred to.
