New derivatives osteoblasts 17 (20), their process of preparation and their application for the preparation of corticosteroids

摘要

A novel nitromethylation composition comprising nitromethane and a catalytic amount of a bifunctional basic catalyst, optionally in an organic solvent, a method of nitromethylating ketonic compounds with said compositions and novel steroids of the formulae IMAGE I and IMAGE I' wherein R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms optionally substituted with an oxygen or nitrogen group or halogen and alkenyl and alkynyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms, R2 is alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and the A,B,C and D rings optionally contain at least one double bond and optionally substituted with at least one member of the group consisting of -OH, =0, halogen, alkyl and alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms and alkenyl and alkynyl of 2 to 4 carbon atoms and their use to form the corresponding 21-acetoxy-20-ketocorticosteroids compounds in a simple manner.
