Abstract

The invention comprises (1) a process for preparing steroids of the formula <FORM:0908674/IV (b)/1> (wherein R is an acyl group of at most 10 carbon atoms) which comprises oxidizing with an organic per-acid 3b -hydroxy- or a 3b -acyloxy - 16a ,17a - epoxy - 16b - methylpregn-5-en-20-one (II) to the corresponding 5a ,6a ,16a , 17a -bis-epoxide (III), reducing the 20-ketogroup to a 20-hydroxyl-group and acylating the product if desired, treating the resulting dihydroxy- or diacyloxy-compound (IV) with methyl magnesium halide to give 16a ,17a -epoxy - 6b ,16b - dimethylpregnane - 3b ,5a ,20-triol (V), oxidizing this to the corresponding 3,20-dione (VI), dehydrating and isomerizing this to give 16a ,17a -epoxy-6a ,16b -dimethyl-pregn-4-ene-3,20-dione, treating this with a carboxylic acid anhydride in presence of an acidic catalyst to give a 3,17a -diacyloxy-6-methyl-16-methylene-pregn-3,5-dien-20-one and selectively hydrolysing the acyloxy group at position 3; and (2) as new steroids compounds III wherein the 3-group is hydroxy and acetoxy, compounds IV wherein the 3,20-groups are dihydroxy and diacetoxy, compound V and compound VI. Detailed examples are given. Specifications 858,033 and 887,684 are referred to.
