Abstract
Various approaches to the synthesis of 16α,17α-epoxypregn-4-ene-9α,21-diol-3,20-dione were studied. A preparative method was found for the synthesis of this compound by the microbiological transformations of 20,20-dimethoxy-16α,17α-epoxypregn-5-ene-3Β,21-diol using Rhodococcus sp. with subsequent removal of the dimethyl acetal protection in 20,20-dimethoxy-16α,17α-epoxypregn-4-ene-9α,21-dio-1-3-one.
