Abstract

The present invention describes a process for the preparation of drospirenone (I) using androstendione as a starting material. In particular, androstendione protected on carbonyl group in position 3 as an enol-ether is functionalized in position 16 with a sulfoxide group and the derivative thus obtained undergoes thermal elimination in alkaline to give androsta-4,15- diene-3, 17-dione (V) which is further transformed into Drospirenone (I).
