Abstract
Abstract 6,6-Difluoro-11 Alpha ,16 Alpha ,17 Alpha -trihydroxy-4-pregnen3,20-dione 16,17-ketal 17-ketal is prepared by a process involving the 11 Alpha -microbiological hydroxylation of the corresponding 16 Alpha ,17 Alpha -dihydroxy steroid. The 11 Alpha -hydroxyl is converted sequentially to the 9,11-double bond, 9,11-epoxy and 9 Alpha -fluoro-11 Beta -hydroxyl. Optionally the 1,2-position is dehydrogenated and a 21-hydrogen converted to a 21-hydroxy, acyloxy, bromine or chlorine. The latter steroid ketals are highly active anti-inflammatory and glucocortical agents.
