Abstract

The invention comprises 5b -pregnanes, having the formula <FORM:0988806/C2/1> wherein R1 is a hydrogen atom or an acyl radical, and either R2 is a b -hydroxyl group H(OH) in which case R3 and R4 are each a hydrogen atom or an acyl radical and R5 is a hydrogen atom, an acyl radical or a benzyl group, or R2 is the oxygen atom of a keto group, and R3, R4, and R5 together are a methylene group ­ CH, the acyl radical in each case being derived from an aliphatic carboxylic acid having from 2-7 carbon atoms and processes for the preparation thereof by treating a 3a -hydroxy - 20 - carboalkoxy - 20 - benzyloxymethylene - 5b - pregnan - 11 - on - 21 - oic acid alkyl ester with a mixed metal hydride to form 3a ,11b ,21 - trihydroxy - 20 - hydroxymethylene - 20 - benzyloxy - methylene - 5b - pregnane, subjecting the latter to catalytic hydrogenolysis to give 3a ,11b ,21-trihydroxy-20,20-bis - hydroxymethylene - 5b - pregnane, reacting the latter with an acylating agent derived from a lower aliphatic carboxylic acid having 2-7 carbon atoms to obtain 3a ,21-diacyloxy-11b - hydroxy - 20,20 - bis - acyloxymethylene-5b - pregnane, oxidizing the latter by treatment with a mixture of chromic acid and concentrated sulphuric acid to obtain 3a ,21-diacyloxy - 20,20 - bis - acyloxymethylene - 5b -pregnan - 11 - one, saponifying the latter by treatment with alkali to obtain 3a ,21 - dihydroxy - 20,20 - bis - hydroxymethylene - 5b -pregnan - 11 - one, reacting the latter with a lower alkyl ortho-lower aliphatic acylate e.g. lower alkyl orthoformate to obtain 11-(3a -hydroxy - 5b - androstan - 11 - on - 17b - yl)-31,51,81\h - trioxabicyclo - [2,2,2] - octane, treating the latter with an acylating agent to obtain the corresponding 3-acyloxy compound and subjecting the latter to hydrolysis to obtain 3a -acyloxy - 20,20 - bis - hydroxymethylene - 21 - hydroxy - 5b - pregnan - 11 - one. As mixed metal hydride, LiAlH4 may be used. Catalytic hydrogenolysis is preferably effected in ethanol with palladium black. Specification 967,078 also is referred to.
