Synthesis of 15-keto-6.beta.,7.beta.-methyleneprogesterone. Effect of the 6.beta.,7.beta.-methylene group on mineralocorticoid activity
摘要:
15-Ketoprogesterone is as active as spironolactone in blocking the mineralocorticoid effect of deoxycorticosterone acetate. This activity is reduced when a methylene group is attached to the 6beta, 7beta position. The title compound was prepared from 15alpha-acetoxy-6-dehydroprogesterone. Methylenation of the delta6 double bond with dimethyloxosulfonium methylide proceeds steroselectively from the beta side of the molecule.
