Abstract

17.beta.-Cyano-17.alpha.-hydroxy steroids (I) are transformed to 17.alpha.-halo silyl ethers (II) which are intermediates useful in the production of progesterones (V), 17-hydroxyprogesterones (VI), corticoids (VII) and 21-halo corticoids (III) which can readily be transformed to corticoids (VII).
