Abstract:
PURPOSE: A process for preparing 4,17(20)-prostadien-3,16-dione from 5-androstene-3beta-ol-17-one and intermediate compounds for preparing the same are provided to lower values for low density lipoprotein and cholesterol and to increase a value for high density lipoprotein. CONSTITUTION: The process for preparing 4,17(20)-prostadien-3,16-dione(E-guggulsterone) represented by formula IV comprises the steps of: reacting 5-androstene-3beta-ol-17-one represented by formula I with an ethyltriphenyl phosphonium halide under a presence of a strong base to obtain a compound represented by formula II; introducing a hydroxy group to C-16 position of the obtained compound to obtain a compound represented by formula III; and oxidizing it.

PURPOSE: A process for preparing 4,17(20)-prostadien-3,16-dione from 16 alpha, 17 alpha-epoxypregnenolone are provided to effectively lower the values for low density lipoprotein and cholesterol and to increase the value for high density lipoprotein. CONSTITUTION: The process for preparing 4,17(20)-prostadien-3,16-dione(E-guggulsterone) represented by formula III from 16 alpha, 17 alpha-epoxypregnenolone comprises the steps of: reacting 16 alpha, 17 alpha-epoxypregnenolone represented by formula I with a hydrazine to obtain a compound represented by formula II, wherein 1 to 40 equivalent of the hydrazine is used to the 16 alpha, 17 alpha-epoxypregnenolone; and then oxidizing it using aluminum alkoxides.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A process for preparing thiazole derivatives and intermediates for the preparation thereof are provided, thereby easily preparing the thiazole derivatives in higher yield. CONSTITUTION: A process for preparing 2 - {2 - methyl - 4 - £({4 - methyl - 2 - £4 - (trifluoromethyl) phenyl| - 1,3 - thiazole - 5 - yl}methyl)sulfanyl|phenoxy} acetate of the formula (X) comprises the steps of: reacting a compound of the formula (III) with a compound of the formula (VI) to prepare a compound of the formula (VII); removing a protecting group from the compound of the formula (VII) to prepare a compound of the formula (VIII); reacting the compound of the formula (VIII) with halogenacetic acid alkylester to prepare a compound of the formula (IX); and hydrolysis of the compound of the formula (IX), wherein R1 is C1-C4 alkyl, alkyl or aralkylsilyl phenol protecting group; R2 is hydrogen and methyl; R3 is C1-C4 alkyl containing carboxylic acid protecting group; X1 is halogen atom and hydrogen atom; X2 is halogen atom and a releasing group having improved reactivity in electron affinity reaction; and M is lithium and magnesium ions. Intermediates for the preparation thereof include the thiazole derivative of formula (III) or formula (VII).
