Microbial Transformations of Steroids XVI. Synthesis of 11β,21-Dihydroxy-6, 16α-dimethyl-1,4,6-pregnatriene-3,20-dione and of its 11-Keto Compound21-Acetoxy-5α,6α-epoxy-3β-hydroxy-6β16α-dimethyl-20-pregnanone (3a), prepared from 3β-hydroxy-6, 16α-dimethyl-5-pregnen-20-one (1) by epoxidation and chemical introduction of the 21-acetoxy group, was oxidized to 6α,21-dihydroxy-6β,16α-dimethyl-4-pregnene-3,20-dione (4) by Flavobacterium dehydrogenans and dehydrated to the 3-keto-4,6-diene 5. The 11β-hydroxy group was introduced by Curvularia lunata to give 6, and the 11α-hydroxy group by Aspergillus ochraceus to yield 8. Both compounds were dehydrogenated with Bacillus lentus to from 7 and 9. The 11α-hydroxy compound 9 was selectively acetylated to 10, which was oxidize to 11. This on saponification yielded 12.
Notes:
21-Acetoxy-5α,6α-epoxy-3β-hydroxy-6β,16α-dimethyl-20-pregnanon (3a), dargestellt aus 3β-Hydroxy-6, 16α-dimethyl-5-pregnen-20-on (1) durch Epoxidierung und 21-Acetoxylierung, wurde mit Flavobacterium dehydrogenans zu 6α,21-Dihydroxy-6β, 16α, -dimethyl-4-pregnen-3,20-dion (4) oxidiert und zu 21-Hydroxy-6, 16α-dimethyl-4,6-pregnadien-3,20-dion (5) dehydratisiert. Mit Curvularia lunata wurde die 11β-Hydroxygruppe eingeführt zu 6, während Aspergillus ochraceus die entsprechende 11α-Hydroxyverbindung 8 ergab. Beide Verbindungen wurden mit Bacillus lentus zu 7 bzw. 9 dehydriert. Die 11α-Hydroxyverbindung 9 wurde nach selektiver Acetylierung der 21-Hydroxygruppe zu 10 zum 11-Keton 11 oxidiert, dessen Verseifung 12 ergab.
