The condensation reactions described in processes (A) to (D) may be performed in the presence or 20 absence of a solvent. Aqueous or organic inert solvents, depending on the nature of the reactants, may be employed. Such solvents include dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, dioxane, ethoxyethanol and alkanols containing up to five carbon atoms, with or without 25 the addition of water. Aromatic hydrocarbons may also be employed. It is preferred, but not essential, to perform the reaction in the presence of an acid-binding agent such as triethylamine, and an alkali metal carbonate or an alkali metal hydroxide. 30 The reaction temperature depends on the starting compounds and on the solvent, which is used for the reaction and lies between ambient temperature and the reflux temperature of the reaction mixture. The reaction time is temperature-dependent and 35 may be several minutes to many hours.
A compound of formula I in which Rg and/or Rg are hydroxyl is desired, a compound of formula I wherein Rg and R j and/or Rg and Rg -9- together are oxo may be hydrogenated with conventional hydrogonating agents, such as sodium borohydride, in a manner known per se to obtain the desired hydroxy-substituted compound. j The starting compounds for process steps (A) to (D) are known compounds or may be prepared by known methods. 10 Thus, compounds of formula V are described in British Patent No. 480,358 and J.
