The invention relates to a new process for the preparation of 6 alpha -halo-3-keto- DELTA 1,4-pregnadiene-derivatives in two-steps-synthesis affording directly 6 alpha -halo-derivatives by reacting 3-keto-9 beta ,11 beta -oxido- DELTA 1,4-pregnadiene-derivatives with a suitable acylating or etherifying agent to give the corresponding new 3-enol-derivatives which are finally halogenated by using a suitable halogenating agent.
