Abstract

The invention comprises 16a -hydroxy steroids (and their ethers and esters) of the androstan, D 4-androsten, etiocholan, estratrien, estratetraen, and estrapentaen series having the structural formula <FORM:0823955/IV (b)/1> wherein X represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, amyl, isoamyl, vinyl, cyclopentylpropyl, acetyl, propionyl, butyryl, cyclopentylpropionyl, palmitoyl, benzyl, benzoyl, tolyl or naphthyl radical and Y, when present, represents a methyl radical, and a process for their preparation and of their esters and ethers by reacting the corresponding 16b -hydroxy stereoisomer with an aryl sulphonyl halide to form the corresponding 16b -aryl sulphonic ester, reacting this ester with an alkali metal salt of a lower aliphatic acid of one to four carbon atoms in a medium comprising said aliphatic acid to form the corresponding 16a -aliphatic acid ester, and if necessary hydrolysing to form the 16a -hydroxy steroid and subsequently if desired re-esterifying or etherifying the 16a -hydroxy group. In examples: (1) 1,3,5(10)-estratrien-3,16b -diol in pyridine is treated with p-toluene sulphonyl chloride and the resulting di-tosylate heated with acetic anhydride and sodium acetate and saponified to estradiol-3,16a which is purified by reacetylation and saponification; 1,3,5(10),6,8-estrapentaen-3,16a -diol and 1,3,5(10),7-estratetraen - 3,16a - diol; and (2) their diacetates and dipropionates are similarly prepared; (3) estradiol-3,16a is benzoylated in aqueous NaOH giving the 3-benzoate; and (4) in pyridine, yielding the 3,16-dibenzoate; (5) 3-methoxyestra - 1,3,5(10) - trien - 16b - ol as in (1) yields estradiol-3-methyl ether 16a -acetate; (6) androstan-3b ,16a -diol is prepared from 3b -benzoyloxy-androstan-16b -ol and subsequently (7) acetylated to the diacetate. Other specified products are 5-isoandrostan-3b ,16a -diol, estra1,3,5(10),6,8-pentaen-3,16a -diol and their ethers and esters. 3b - Benzoyloxy - androstan - 16b - ol is prepared from androstan-3b -ol-16-one benzoate by reduction with sodium borohydride; equilenin16-one is similarly reduced or hydrogenated using Adams catalyst to yield the corresponding 3,16b -diol. Specification 778,940 is referred to.
