  Procédé pour la préparation de l'acétate de     Z/J        i-déhydrocortisone       On     conna?t    la grande activité     antiarthritique    de  deux nouveaux     corticostéroïdes,    la     0',4-prégnadiène-          17a,21-diol-3,11,20-trione    (ou     4'-déhydrocortisone     ou     métacortandracine)    et la     0',4-prégnadiène-110,          17a,21-triol-3,20-dione    (ou     0'-déhydrocortisol    ou       métacortandralone)    (Herzog et     coll.,    Science, 1955,  121,

   p. 176).    La présente invention a pour objet un     procédé     pour la préparation de l'acétate de     A'-déhydrocorti-          sone    (ou     métacortandracine)    ;     ce    procédé est caracté  risé en     ce    qu'on oxyde et bromure la     3a,17a-dihydr-          oxy-21-acétoxy-prégnane-11,20-dione    pour obtenir  la     2,4-dibromo-17a-hydroxy-21-acétoxy-prégnane-          3,11,

  20-trione    lévogyre et qu'on     débromhydrate    ce  composé     dibromé.       L'invention est illustrée par le schéma réactionnel qui suit.  
EMI0001.0027     
      Suivant un mode préféré de     mise    en     oeuvre    du  procédé de l'invention, on fait agir sur le     composé     de départ I le     N-bromo-succinimide    en présence  d'acide     acétique,    de     dioxane    et d'eau, et l'on ajoute  directement au mélange réactionnel, sans isoler le  composé II, la quantité nécessaire de brome, en pré  sence de     dioxane.    Au lieu du brome, on peut aussi       utiliser,

      toujours en     présence    de     dioxane,    le     N-bromo-          succinimide    en présence d'acide bromhydrique.  



  On peut     débromhydrater    la     2,4-dibromo-17cc-          hydroxy-21-acétoxy-prégnane-3,11,20-trione    lévo  gyre soit à l'aide d'une base tertiaire, telle que la     col-          lidine    ou la     méthyl-éthyl-pyridine,    soit par l'intermé  diaire d'une     dinitrophényl-hydrazone.     



  Le présent procédé permet de bifurquer à partir  d'un terme intermédiaire de la synthèse de la corti  sone vers la     AI-déhydrocortisone    et comporte comme  unique différence la fixation     stéréospécifique    d'un  deuxième atome de brome en position 2. On peut  ainsi accéder à la     AI-déhydrocortisone    dans des con  ditions     particulièrement    avantageuses au point de  vue     économique.     



  Les points de fusion indiqués dans l'exemple qui  suit correspondent à des     fusion    instantanées.    <I>Exemple</I>    On chauffe à     60,)    C un mélange composé de 2 g  de     3a,17a-dihydroxy-21-acétoxy-prégnane-11,20-di-          one,    10     cm3    d'acide acétique, 5     cm3    de     dioxane,     1,84g de     N-bromo-succinimide    et 0,15     cm3    d'eau  distillée. Après vingt-cinq minutes, il n'y a plus de  réaction au papier     amidoioduré    humide.

   On ajoute  alors 25     cm3    de     dioxane,    refroidit à 25 -     30o    C et  introduit 0,86 g de brome dissous dans 2     cm3    d'acide  acétique. Lorsque tout le brome est absorbé, on  ajoute 3     cm3    d'eau et agite     pendant    deux heures en  viron à     -I-    50 C. Le     composé        dibromé    III cristallise  lentement. On essore, lave au     dioxane    aqueux, puis  à l'eau, essore et sèche sous vide. On obtient le  composé III lévogyre brut avec un rendement de  25 0/a.

   Par recristallisation dans l'acétone aqueuse,  on obtient le produit pur, [0.120 = - 190 (c = 0,5 0/0,  acétone).

      On parvient au même résultat si, au lieu de fixer  le deuxième atome de brome comme indiqué     ci-          dessus,    on utilise à la place du brome le N-bromo-         succinimide.    Dans     ce    cas, après avoir introduit les  25     cm3    de     dioxane    et avoir refroidi à     25()    C, on  ajoute 1     cm3    d'une solution acétique d'acide brom  hydrique sec (38,8 g d'acide bromhydrique pour  100     cm3)    puis 0,9 g de     N-bromo-succinimide.

  Process for the preparation of Z / J i-dehydrocortisone acetate The great antiarthritic activity of two new corticosteroids, 0 ', 4-pregnadiene-17a, 21-diol-3,11,20-trione ( or 4'-dehydrocortisone or metacortandracin) and 0 ', 4-pregnadiene-110, 17a, 21-triol-3,20-dione (or 0'-dehydrocortisol or metacortandralone) (Herzog et al., Science, 1955, 121 ,

   p. 176). The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of A'-dehydrocortisone acetate (or metacortandracin); this process is characterized in that 3a, 17a-dihydr-oxy-21-acetoxy-pregnan-11,20-dione is oxidized and brominated to obtain 2,4-dibromo-17a-hydroxy-21-acetoxy- pregnane- 3,11,

  20-trione levorotatory and dehydrated this dibrominated compound. The invention is illustrated by the reaction scheme which follows.
EMI0001.0027
      According to a preferred embodiment of the process of the invention, the starting compound I is allowed to act on N-bromo-succinimide in the presence of acetic acid, dioxane and water, and one adds directly in the reaction mixture, without isolating compound II, the necessary quantity of bromine, in the presence of dioxane. Instead of bromine, one can also use,

      always in the presence of dioxane, N-bromosuccinimide in the presence of hydrobromic acid.



  2,4-Dibromo-17cc-hydroxy-21-acetoxy-pregnan-3,11,20-trione levogyre can be dehydrated either with the aid of a tertiary base, such as collidin or methyl-. ethyl-pyridine, or through the intermediary of a dinitrophenyl-hydrazone.



  The present process makes it possible to bifurcate from an intermediate term in the synthesis of cortisone towards Al-dehydrocortisone and has as the only difference the stereospecific fixation of a second bromine atom in position 2. It is thus possible to access the Al-dehydrocortisone under conditions which are particularly advantageous from the economic point of view.



  The melting points indicated in the example which follows correspond to instantaneous melts. <I> Example </I> A mixture composed of 2 g of 3a, 17a-dihydroxy-21-acetoxy-pregnan-11,20-di-one, 10 cm3 of acetic acid, 5 cm3 of dioxane, 1.84g of N-bromo-succinimide and 0.15 cm3 of distilled water. After twenty-five minutes, there is no further reaction to the wet starchy paper.

   Then added 25 cm3 of dioxane, cooled to 25-30o C and introduced 0.86 g of bromine dissolved in 2 cm3 of acetic acid. When all the bromine has been absorbed, 3 cm3 of water are added and the mixture is stirred for about two hours at -I- 50 C. The dibromo compound III slowly crystallizes. It is filtered off, washed with aqueous dioxane, then with water, filtered off and dried under vacuum. The crude levorotatory compound III is obtained with a yield of 25 0 / a.

   By recrystallization from aqueous acetone, the pure product is obtained, [0.120 = -190 (c = 0.5 0/0, acetone).

      The same result is achieved if, instead of fixing the second bromine atom as indicated above, instead of bromine is used N-bromosuccinimide. In this case, after having introduced the 25 cm3 of dioxane and having cooled to 25 () C, 1 cm3 of an acetic solution of dry hydrobromic acid (38.8 g of hydrobromic acid per 100 cm3) is added then 0.9 g of N-bromo-succinimide. Bromination is instantaneous.

   After addition of 30 cm3 of water, it is purified as above.



  2 g of the dibromo compound 111 are introduced into 8 cm9 of redistilled collidine. Is passed a stream of nitrogen and distilled with stirring in ten minutes about 6 cm3 of collidine (E. 165 C). The residue is allowed to cool and is taken up in 20 cm2 of the water-ice mixture and 6 cm3 of concentrated hydrochloric acid. The precipitate formed is filtered off and washed with water until the chlorine ion has disappeared.

   It is filtered off and dried at 40 ° C. The product obtained contains 58% of Al-dehydrocortisone acetate according to the assay made by spectrography in 1'U. V. at 238 m # i. It is isolated by chromatography on alumina. The product shows the constants of the literature.
