Zusammenfassung:A process for preparing 17-hydroxy-3-oxo-17 alpha -pregna-4,6-diene-21-carboxylic acid gamma -lactone by contacting 17-hydroxy-3-oxy-17 alpha -pregna-3,5-diene-21-carboxylic acid gamma -lactone with an appropriate halogenating agent in the presence of an amine base, the corresponding hydrohalide salt thereof, and approximately 1-2 molar equivalents (relative to the lactonic starting material) of water, using a cold solvent as the contact medium, and heating the resultant mixture with a dehydrohalogenating agent, is disclosed.
