A process for the selective conversion of 20-methylpregna-3,5,20(21)-triene-3,21-diol-diacetate to 3-oxo-20-methyl-pregna-4,20(21)-diene-21-yl-acetate
A process for the selective conversion of 20-methylpregna-3,5,20(21)-triene-3,21-diol-diacetate to 3-oxo-20-methyl-pregna-4,20(21)-diene-21-yl-acetate
The present invention relates to the selective conversion of 20-methylpregna-3,5,20(21)- triene-3,21-diol-diacetate to 3-oxo-20-methylpregna-4,20(21)- diene-21-yl-acetate by the use of a halogenated solvent and a halogenated acid. This process provides improved recovery of 3-oxo-20-methylpregna-4,20(21)- diene-21-yl acetate which is a useful intermediate in the preparation of progesterone.
