Abstract: A process for 9.alpha.-debromination of 9.alpha.-bromo-11.beta.-hydroxy steroids without eliminating the 11.beta.-hydroxyl group utilizing chromous chloride or chromous sulfate and thioglycolic acid.
Abstract: 17.alpha.-Acyloxy-5.alpha.-pregnanes (I) and 17.alpha.-acyloxy-5.alpha.-pregnanes (IV) have an excellent activity split providing high topical anti-inflammatory activity with very low systemic side effects.

Abstract: Substituted ethanes (I) are reacted with an alkyl metal reagent to form isomeric metalated olefins (IIIA and IIIB) having a trans (IIIB) to cis (IIIA) ratio of greater than 70:30.
Abstract: A process which produces bisnoraldehyde-22-enamines in high yield and sufficiently high purity for copper-catalyzed oxygenation by the process of U.S. Pat. No. 3,661,942 has been developed.
Abstract: 6-Deoxyneamine, 6-deoxy-5-epineamine, their 5-0-glycosyl derivatives, 6-deoxy-5-oxoneamine and the derivatives therefrom are useful as antibacterial agents and/or as intermediates in the synthesis of antibacterially active 6-deoxyneamines.
Abstract: Various steroids which have a high affinity for rat ABP (androgen binding protein) and a low affinity for rat AR (androgen receptor) have been found to be useful as male contraceptives. Upon cessation of administration of the steroids of the present invention the male promptly regains normal fertility.
Abstract: 6-Deoxyneamine, 6-deoxy-5-epineamine, their 5-0-glycosyl derivatives, 6-deoxy-5-oxoneamine and the derivatives therefrom are useful as antibacterial agents and/or as intermediates in the synthesis of antibacterially active 6-deoxyneamines.
Abstract: 17-Keto steroids (I) in their protected form (IIa or IIb) are reacted with a metalated olefin (VI) to give a 21-aldehyde (IV) which is readily transformed to a 16-unsaturated pregnane (V) which is useful in the production of commercially important substituted corticoids.

Abstract: 11.beta.,21-Dihydroxypregna-1,4,17(20)-triene-3-one 21-acetate (0) is epoxidized, followed by ring opening and hydrolysis to give 11.beta.,20,21-trihydroxypregna-1,4,16-triene-3-one 21-acetate (III), an intermediate in the synthesis of betamethasone, in improved yields.
Abstract: The present invention relates to processes for the chemical oxidation of novobiocin-type compounds (I) to their corresponding hydroxy derivative (II) or aldehyde (III) and formation of novobiocin derivatives from these oxidation products. The oxidation products and derivatives have antibacterial activity.
Abstract: 6-Deoxyneamine, 6-deoxy-5-epineamine, their 5-O-glycosyl derivatives, 6-deoxy-5-oxoneamine and the derivatives therefrom are useful as antibacterial agents and/or as intermediates in the synthesis of antibacterially active 6-deoxyneamines.
Abstract: The process of the invention permits acylation of hindered steroidal tertiary alcohols without the undesirable side reactions which accompany previously known acylation reactions.
