Popis: The development and implementation of a safe and scalable process for the manufacture of corticosteroid PF-4714224 (1) is described. Initial routes used to synthesise analogues from this series directly from fluocinolone acetonide (2) were unsuitable for large-scale use. Key aspects of the route are the efficient and simple method for the preparation of the steroid tetraol (6), acetal formation by reaction of the tetraol with a bisulphite adduct (12), and isolation of the product by sequential recrystallisations.
