Abstract
A study was carried out on the pathways for the transformation of 16α,17α-epoxypregn-4-ene-9α,21-diol-3,20-dione to give 16α,17α-isopropylidene derivatives of pregn-4-ene-9α,16α,17α,21-tetraol-3,20-dione and its 17α-thioanalog. The key step in this pathway is thecis-cleavage of the 20-carboethoxyhydrazone of this epoxide by acetic and thioacetic acids and subsequent condensation of the products formed with acetone. This pathway is an efficient approach to the synthesis of the 16α,17α-dioxolane derivative and is equally efficient for preparation of the thioanalog, namely, 16α,17α-isopropylidenepregn-4-ene-9α,16α,21-triol-17α-thiol-3,20-dione, which has already been synthesized by an alternative method.
