Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention relates to the last step of a synthetic process, in which Nomegestrol-acetate of formula (I) is synthesized from 17α-acetoxy-6-methylene-19-norpregn-4-ene-3,20-dione of formula (II) in the presence of Pd/C catalyst and acetic acid in hot ethanolic solution.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A process for the synthesis of Nomegestrol-acetate of formula (I) characterized by adding the solid starting steroid of formula (II) into an ethanolic solution at 50-78° C., which contains 0.05-0.2 mass fraction of 10% Pd/C catalyst, and 0.01-0.2 mass fraction of acetic acid calculated on the weight of the starting steroid of formula (II), then, after 3-15 min reaction time the catalyst is filtered off, the filtrate is concentrated to one fourth in vacuum, water is added to residue and the precipitated product of formula (I) is filtered off at 0-25° C. 2. The process according to claim 1 , characterized by using 0.08-0.12 mass fraction of catalyst. 3. The process according to claim 1 , characterized by using 0.03-0.07 mass fraction of acetic acid in the reaction. 4. The process according to claim 1 , characterized by carrying out the reaction for 5-10 min. 5. The process according to claim 1 , characterized by using 10-100 fold volume of ethanol calculated on the weight of the steroid. 6. The process according to claim 1 , characterized by carrying out the reaction at 70-78° C. 7. The process according to claim 1 , characterized by using 20-40 fold volume ethanol calculated on the weight of the steroid.
