Abstract

The invention comprises (1) a process for the preparation of a steroid of the formula <FORM:0912037/IV (b)/1> (wherein R is (OMe)2 and R1 is hydrogen) which comprises reacting 3b -hydroxy- or a 3b -acyloxy-11-methylene-5a ,25D-spirostan with an acylating agent under conditions which will effect isomerization of the spiroketal system to give the corresponding 26-acyloxy-furost-20(22)-ene derivative of the formula <FORM:0912037/IV (b)/2> (wherein R and R1 are acyl groups containing at most 8 carbon atoms), subjecting this to oxidation and hydrolysis and, if necessary, re-acylation to give a steroid of the formula <FORM:0912037/IV (b)/3> (wherein R is an acyl group containing at most 8 carbon atoms), treating this with hydroxylamine to form the corresponding 20-oxime, subjecting this to the Beckmann rearrangement and hydrolysing to form 3b -hydroxy - 11 - methylene-5a -androstan-17-one, oxidizing this to the 3,17-dione, treating this with methanol and an acid catalyst to give 3,3 - dimethoxy - 11 - methylene-5a -androstan-17-one, and reducing the 17-oxo-group; and, if desired, acylating the product to form a 17-ester and/or treating with a catalytic quantity of an acid in an aqueous organic solvent to form a 3-ketone; and (2) as new compounds, steroids of the first general formula above wherein R is (OMe)2 and R1 is hydrogen, acetyl or propionyl; 3b - hydroxy-11-methylene-5a -androstan-17-one and its 3-acetate; 11-methylene - 5a - androstane - 3,17 - dione and 3,3-dimethoxy - 11 - methylene-5a -androstan-17-one. Suitable acylating agents for the first stage of the above process are carboxylic acid anhydrides of 2 to 8 carbon atoms, used at a temperature between 160 DEG and 220 DEG C. Oxidation of the furostene may be effected by chromic acid in aqueous acetic acid or hydrogen peroxide in acetic acid, and hydrolysis by refluxing in acetic acid, or by using sodium or potassium bicarbonate, carbonate or hydroxide in aqueous solvents in which case re-acylation must be effected. Detailed examples are provided. In the Provisional Specification the oxidation product of the furostene is stated to be a steroid of the formula <FORM:0912037/IV (b)/4> (wherein R and R1 are acyl groups containing at most 8 carbon atoms). Specification 912,036 is referred to.
