A facile synthesis of the side chain of loteprednol etabonate, namely, chloromethyl-17α-[(ethoxycarbonyl))oxy]-11β-hydro of loteprednol etabonate, viz., chloromethyl-17α-[(ethoxycarbonyl))oxy]-11xy-3-oxoandrosta-1,4-diene-17β-carboxylate--an ocular soft corticosteroid, has been described starting from a 20-oxopregnane, namely, 3β-acetoxy-pregn-5(6),16(17)-diene-20-one (16-dehydropregnenolone acetate, i.e., 16-DPA) using our recently developed metal-mediated halogenation as a key reaction.
