Abstract: | 21-Amino-5-pregnene-3,20-dione bisethylene ketal was obtained in good yield by lithium aluminum hydride reduction of 21-azido-5-pregnene-3,20-dione bisethylene ketal. The azido bisethylene ketal was synthesized by the sequence: deoxycorticosterone → deoxycorticosterone 21-p-toluene-sulfonate → 21-azidoprogesterone → 21-azido-5-pregnene-3, 20-dione bisethylene ketal. The structure of the title compound was confirmed by its conversion to the known 21-acetylaminoprogesterone. 21-Amino-5-pregnene-3,20-dione bisethylene ketal is a stable aminosteroid which is a useful intermediate for the synthesis of C-21 nitrogen derivatives of progesterone. |
