Abstract

The invention comprises (1) steroids of the general formula: <FORM:0852683/IV(b)/1> (wherein R is hydrogen or an acyl group of at most 10 carbon atoms) ; (2) 3b :17a -dihydroxy-6-methyl-pregn-5-en-20-one and the 17-acetyl, 17-propionyl, 17-hexanoyl, 17-decanoyl, 3-acetyl and 3:17-diacetyl derivatives thereof; and (3) a process for the preparation of steroids of the above general formula by oxidising 3b -hydroxy-or a 3b -acyloxy-6-methyl-pregna-5:16-dien-20-one to the 16a :17a -epoxide, acylating this if desired and then treating it with a hydrogen halide to give the 16b -halogeno-17a -hydroxyderivative and reductively dehalogenating this to give 3b :17a -dihydroxy- or a 3b -acyloxy-17a -hydroxy-6-methyl-pregn-5-en-20-one, acylating this to give a 3b -acyloxy-17a -acyloxy-6-methylpregn-5-en-20-one, preferentially hydrolysing this at the 3-position and oxidising the 3-ol to give a 17a -acyloxy-6a -methyl-pregn-4-ene-3:20-dione which may subsequently be saponified to the 17a -ol. The first oxidation (during which partial or complete saponification of the 3b -acyloxy group may occur) may be effected with hydrogen peroxide in alkaline alcoholic solution, the epoxide so formed treated with hydrogen halide in a solvent at 25 DEG C. or below, the dehalogenation effected with Raney nickel in ethanol at room temperature, the acylation of the 17a -hydroxyl group performed by treatment with an acid anhydride and toluene p-sulphonic acid catalyst, the preferential hydrolysis carried out with hot ethanolic or methanolic hydrochloric acid, the second oxidation effected by the Oppenauer method and the final saponification brought about with alcoholic alkali. Examples are given. Specifications 851,742 and 852,684 are referred to.
