Abstract

The invention comprises 3-keto-D 1,5-steroids of the androstane and pregnane series particularly of the general formula <FORM:0915635/IV (b)/1> wherein X represents a hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine atom, Y is H2, (H, OH) or O, Z represents hydrogen or an alkyl group containing less than 6 carbon atoms, and T represents O, (H, b -OR), (alkyl having less than 6 carbon atoms, b -OR), (ethinyl, b -OR) or (CH2VCO, a W), W being H or OH, V being H or OR, and R representing hydrogen or the acyl residue of a carboxylic acid having up to 12 carbon atoms, and a process for the preparation of 3-keto-D 5-steroids such as 3-keto-D 1,5-steroids by reacting 3-keto-D -4-steroids such as 3-keto-D 1,4-steroids having at the 6-position a chlorine, bromine or iodine atom or a lower aliphatic acyloxy or an aliphatic or aromatic sulphonyloxy group with a polyvalent reducing metal in a predominantly organic solvent medium, the reaction mixture being substantially neutral. By "polyvalent reducing metal" is meant a metal which has an electrode potential between -0.15 and -2.5 volts, e.g. cadmium, cobalt, nickel, tin, magnesium, aluminium, zinc, chromium and iron. Particularly useful metals are magnesium, zinc and aluminium amalgam. Reaction solvents that may be used are preferably solvents capable of supplying a proton such as alcohols, but other organic solvents, e.g., a moist ether such as tetrahydrofuran or ethylether may be used. In the above process the steroid reactants may be of the androstane, pregnane, saponin, sapogenin or bile acid series. These reactants may contain any of the following substituents:- 2-methyl, 6-methyl, 9a -halogeno, 11-hydroxy, 11-oxo, 16-alkyl, 16-hydroxy, 17-oxo, 17-hydroxy, 20-oxo, 21-halogeno, and 21-hydroxy, esters of the aforementioned hydroxy groups, oxido such as 9b ,11b -oxido, 17-alkyl and 17-alkynyl. Ester groups present in the steroid reactants may subsequently be hydrolysed either chemically using dilute acid or microbiologically using the microorganisms Flavobacterium dehydrogenans. Specifications 796,769, 832,325, 901,021 and 915,636 are referred to.
