Description

  

      Terfahren    zur Darstellung eines Betons der     Cyclopentanopolyhydrophenanthren-Reihe.       Es wurde gefunden, dass man zu  Progesteron gelangen kann, wenn man die  Verbindung der Formel  
EMI0001.0003     
    mit wasserabspaltenden Mitteln behandelt.  Die Abspaltung von Wasser kann z. B.  



  mit den für diese Reaktion     bekannterweise     geeigneten Mitteln erfolgen, z. B.     unter    der         Einwirkung    von Mineralsäuren,     vorzugsweise     in alkoholischer Lösung, in     Dioxan    oder der  gleichen, von     Phosphoroxychlorid,        Bisul-          faten,    von Ameisensäure,     Oxalsäure,    von       Säureanhydriden,    wie     Acetanhydrid    oder       Phosphorpentoxyd,    durch die Wirkung von  Katalysatoren, wie Jod.

   An Stelle der oder       in        Kombination    mit den angegebenen     Mitteln     kann man auch andere entsprechende Mass  nahmen anwenden, wie z. B. erhöhte Tempe  ratur, wobei man gegebenenfalls in Gegen  wart indifferenter Gase oder unter vermin  dertem Druck arbeitet.  



  Das vorliegende Verfahren verläuft nach  dem folgenden Reaktionsschema:  
EMI0001.0019     
    Wie Versuche ergeben haben, entsteht     aus     dem freien sekundären Alkohol (Formel I)  hauptsächlich die freie     Enolverbindung    (For  mel     II),    die. als solche unbeständig, sich in    das entsprechende     Keton    (In) umlagert       bezw.    mit ihm     tautomer    ist.  



  Das nach dem neuen Verfahren erhaltene  bekannte     A4,5_pregnen-3,20-dion    kann thera-           peutische    Verwendung finden oder als Zwi  schenprodukt zur Herstellung therapeutisch  wertvoller Verbindungen dienen.  



  <I>Beispiel:</I>  1 Teil     5,17,20-Trioxy-prebnanon-(3)    wird  mit 60 Teilen     Propylalkohol    und 5 Teilen       30%iger        Schwefelsäure    20 Minuten am       Rückfluss    gekocht. Dann     giesst    man in  Wasser,     äthert        aus,    wäscht die ätherische  Lösung mit Wasser, trocknet sie und dampft  sie im Vakuum ein. Aus dem Rückstand ge  winnt man z.

   B. über das     schwerlösliche          Disemicarbazon,    durch Sublimation, fraktio  nierte     Kristallisation    und/oder auswählende       Adsorption    in üblicher Weise das     Probesteroit     der Formel  
EMI0002.0015     
    das aus verdünntem Alkohol in     dimorphen          i#lodifikationen    kristallisiert. die bei 120       bezw.    129  schmelzen.



      Terfahren to represent a concrete of the cyclopentanopolyhydrophenanthrene series. It has been found that progesterone can be obtained by using the compound of the formula
EMI0001.0003
    treated with water-releasing agents. The elimination of water can, for. B.



  take place with the means known to be suitable for this reaction, e.g. B. under the action of mineral acids, preferably in alcoholic solution, in dioxane or the like, of phosphorus oxychloride, bisulfates, of formic acid, oxalic acid, of acid anhydrides such as acetic anhydride or phosphorus pentoxide, through the action of catalysts such as iodine.

   Instead of or in combination with the specified means, you can also apply other appropriate measures, such. B. increased Tempe temperature, where you may work in the presence of inert gases or under reduced pressure.



  The present process proceeds according to the following reaction scheme:
EMI0001.0019
    As experiments have shown, the free secondary alcohol (formula I) mainly results in the free enol compound (formula II), which. as such inconsistent, rearranged or respectively in the corresponding ketone (In). is tautomeric with him.



  The known A4,5_pregnen-3,20-dione obtained by the new process can be used therapeutically or as an intermediate product for the production of therapeutically valuable compounds.



  <I> Example: </I> 1 part 5,17,20-trioxy-prebnanon- (3) is refluxed for 20 minutes with 60 parts propyl alcohol and 5 parts 30% sulfuric acid. Then you pour into water, ether out, wash the ethereal solution with water, dry it and evaporate it in a vacuum. From the residue you win z.

   B. over the sparingly soluble disemicarbazone, by sublimation, fractional crystallization and / or selective adsorption in the usual way the Probesteroit of the formula
EMI0002.0015
    which crystallizes from dilute alcohol in dimorphic i # iodifications. those at 120 respectively. 129 melt.
