A simple three-step synthetic method is reported on the conversion of Δ4-3-ketosteroids to the corresponding 3β- hydroxy-Δ5-steroid analogues. 17α-Hydroxy-4-pregnen-3,20-dione (10a) was used as a model to develop a method for the synthesis of 3β,17α-dihydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one (16). The major problem being the synthesis of 3,17α-diacetoxy-3,5-pregnadien-20-one (14) was solved by acetylating using a mixture of acetic anhydride and perchloric acid. The conversion of 15β,17α-dihydroxy-4-pregnen- 3,20-dione (8), product of Penicillium citrinum fermentation, to the desired 3β, 15β, 17α-trihydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one (1), is described using a modification of this method. Reaction of 8 with acetic anhydride and perchloric acid in ethyl acetate gave 3,15β,17α-triacetoxy-3,5-pregnadien-20-one (17) which on reduction with sodium borohydrice gave 5-pregnen-3β,15β,17α, 20(S + R)-tetrols (18a and 18b); however, reduction of 17 with a mixture of sodium borohydride and potassium bicarbonate gave after basic hydrolysis with metanolic sodium hydroxide the desired product 3β,15β,17α-trihydroxy-5-pregnen-20-one (1) in good yield (54%).
