Description

The present invention relates to a novel process for .preparing corticoids.
According to the invention, a process for the preparation of a steroid of the formula Ch2-or21 wherein either is an oxygen atom and there are double bonds : between C-3 and R- and between C-4 and C-5 and a single bond between C-5 and C-6, or R^ is a /5 -hydroxylgroup and there is . a single bond between C-3 and R^ and between C-4 and C-5 and a double bond between C-5 and C-6; Rg is hydrogen, fluorine or methyl; Rg is' hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine, bromine or hydroxy: H-f-j is (i) hydrogen, in which case there is a single bond . between C-11 and R^ and a single or double bond between C-9 and C-11, (ii) oL -hydroxy or ί> -hydroxy, in which case there are single bonds between C-11 and R^ and between C-9 and C-11 or (iii) oxygen, in which case there is a double bond between C-11 and.R^ and a single bond between C-9 and C-11; R^g is hydrogen, tZ-methyl or/-methyl; the 1,2 bond is a single bond or a double bond; and R^ is hydrogen, alkanoyl of 2 to -244SS1 carbon atoms or aroyl or aralkanoyl of 7 to 12 carbon atoms, which comprises reacting a compound of the formula II CH, • wherein Ry Rg, Rg, R^ , R^g and---are as defined above and Z is -OR2q, -SR^go or -Ii(R120^2 in whicil R20 of one to 5 carbon atoms, phenyl or phenyl substituted by an alkyl radical of one to 4 carbon atoms, or aralkyl of 7 to 12 carbon atoms and R-jgQ is alkyl of one to 5 carbon atoms, with a peracid of the formula R2200H, wherein R22 is the same as R^ as defined above but is not hydrogen, in an organic solvent, and, if desired, hydrolysing the ester which is formed to give the desired'steroid in which R^ - is hydrogen.
The compounds of formula IX are described and claimed in - Patent Specification No. 44549 .. together with a process for their preparation.
For the peracid of formula R2200H, examples of R22 as alkanoyl of 2 to 6 carbon atoms are acetyl, propionyl,. -3butyryl, valeryl, hexanoyl and isomers thereof; and examples of aroyl and aralkanoyl of 7 to 12 carbon atoms are benzoyl, phenylacetyl, phenylpropionyl, phenylbutyryl, phenylvaleryl, phenylhexanoyl and isomers thereof.
By way of example, if,as is preferred, the peracid is peracetic acid, then.the product is the 21-acetate of the corticoid .product . .. The reaction is carried out in an organic solvent or mixture of solvents such as benzene, ethyl acetate, acetone and/or chloroform·. A base such as sodium .' .acetate is added to the organic solvent so as to neutralise • the sulphuric acid present in the commercially produced peracids which are used in this process. The reaction may.be carried out at a temperature of from -30°C to 25°C., • preferably from 0° to 5°C. It is preferred that the reaction is carried out under an inert dry gas such as nitrogen, When the reaction is complete as measured by thin layer --: chromatography, it is quenched with an agent such as sodium .- sulphite or sodium hydrosulphite. The reaction can then be worked up by conventional means.
The following Example illustrates the invention.
NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance) spectra were recorded . on a Varian A-60 spectrophotometer with tetramethylsilane (TMS) as an internal standard, and the chemical shifts were reported in ppm (δ ) relative to TMS, TMS=0.000 S. Varian is a registered Trade Mark.
Melting points were determined on a Thomas Hoover . Capillary melting point apparatus.
UV (ultraviolet) spectra were determined on a Beckmann -44 4 8 51 DV Model 2400 Spectrophotometer.
Optical rotations were determined on a Perkin-Elmer Polarimeter.
Example 17<^,21-Dihydroxypregn-4-ene-3,20-dione 21-acetate (Formula XII: R^ is an oxygen atom, Rg, Rg, R^ and R^g are hydrogen, R21 is acetyl and the 1,2 and 9,11 bonds are single bonds).
A mixture of 17e<-hydroxy-20-methoxypregna-4,20-dien-3-one (3.0 g., Example 1 Of Patent Specification No. 4454'9·' methylene chloride (45 ml.), ethyl acetate (75 ml.) and anhydrous sodium acetate (3.0 g.) is cooled to 0 - 5°C. under nitrogen with stirring. To this mixture is added 2.26 ml. of 40 percent peracetic acid. The slurry is stirred at 0 - 5°C. for 2 hr. The reaction is quenched by the addition of aqueous sodium thiosulphite solution. The layers are separated and the organic layer is washed with a solution of sodium bicarbonate (1.0 g.) in deionised water (30 ml.). The organic layer is then washed with two 30 ml. portions of deionised water and one 30 ml. portion of a saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride. The organic layer is then dried over anhydrous magnesium sulphate. The dried solution is concentrated to a thick crystalline slurry under reduced pressure. Methanol is added and the resulting slurry is concentrated to a low volume under reduced pressure and filtered. The solids are washed with a little methanol previously cooled to about 0°C. and then dried under vacuum at 65°C. to give 2.309 g. of the title compound, m.p. 229-235.5°; NMR (CDC13) = 0.71, 1.19, 4.98, and 5.73 S and is identical to an authentic sample; UV (methanol) -λ-max. = 242 mji -54 45 5’(ε = 17,055): [jkJq acetone + 107.8°.
An alternative process for preparing corticoids of formula XII from compounds of formula IX is described and claimed in Patent Specification No. 43959.
