Abstract

The invention comprises (1) a process for the preparation of 16a -alkyl-20,21-ketols of the pregnane series wherein a D 16 -20-oxo-pregnene-21-acid ester is reacted in the presence of a cuprous halide with an alkyl-metal compound, the resulting D 17 -20-enolate-metal salt, if desired after esterification of the enolic hydroxyl group, is reduced with a complex metal hydride in a non-hydroxylic solvent, the 20-enol derivative is hydrolysed to form the free 20-ketone, and, if desired, the 21-hydroxyl group is esterified and any ketal or acetal groups present are hydrolysed; and (2) steroids of the formula <FORM:0987576/C2/1> (wherein R1 is an alkyl group of at most 7 carbon atoms, and R2 and R3 are free, etherified or esterified hydroxyl groups) and the corresponding D 5 -3-alkylene-ketals. The products of the above process are stated to contain a certain proportion of the corresponding 16-unsubstituted compound. In an example D 5-16-3-ethylenedioxy - 11b , 18 - oxido - 18 - tetrahydropyranyloxy - 20 - oxo - pregnadiene - 21 - acid methyl ester is converted to 16a -methylaldosterone acetate (and some aldosterone acetate), and to esters with other acids, an extensive list of which is provided; and the acetate is hydrolysed to 16a -methyl-aldosterone.
