The compound of formula IV is chosen from the following amines: butylamine, methylbutylamine, dimethylamine, methylisopropylamine, methyldimethylaminoethylamine, methylbenzylamine, pyrrolidine or N-methylpiperazine which are known products.
When the compound of formulae Ia or I.sub.a ' has a 17.beta.-ketone, the corresponding 17.beta.-hydroxyl steroid is obtained by the action of a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in a neutral solvent such as methanol or triterbutoxylithium aluminium hydride in tetrahydrofuran.
When the compound of formulae Ia or I.sub.a ' has a 17.beta.-hydroxy, the corresponding 17-acyloxylated steroid is obtained by the action of an acylation agent, for example an acetylation agent such as acetic anhydride in pyridine, optionally in the presence of 4-dimethylamino-pyridine.

The compounds of formulae Ib and I.sub.b ' which are steroid derivatives of estradiol having a 11.beta.-chain containing a substituted amide function or a substituted carbamate function are obtained starting with the compounds of formulae Ia and I.sub.a ' respectively, by the action of an aromatization agent such as palladium hydroxide on magnesia in methanol or a mixture of acetyl bromide and acetic anhydride at a temperature not exceeding that of ambient followed by a saponification reaction using, for example, potassium hydroxide in methanol, sodium bicarbonate or methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid.
When the compounds of formulae Ib or I.sub.b ' have a 3-hydroxy, the corresponding alkylated steroids is obtained with an alkylation reagent such as alkyl iodide or an alkyl sulfate, for example, methyl sulfate or the corresponding acylated steroid by the action, of a standard acylation reagent such as an acyl halide like acetyl chloride.
When the compounds of formula Ib or I.sub.b ' have a 17 ketone, the corresponding 17.beta.-hydroxyl steroids are obtained under the conditions described above for Ia or I.sub.a ', for example by the action of a reducing agent such as sodium borohydride in a neutral solvent such as methanol and the corresponding compound of formulae Ib or I.sub.b ' wherein R.sub.17 ' is alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl optionally substituted are obtained by using as a complex, for example, a lithium complex according to the process of EP Patent Application 57,115.
When the compounds of formula Ib or I.sub.b ' have a 17.beta.-hydroxy, the acyloxyl steroids can be obtained by the action of a selective acylation agent such as acetic anhydride in pyridine.
When RA or RA' is hydrogen, the corresponding alkylated product may be obtained by the action of an alkyl halide, for example methyl or ethyl iodide, methyl or ethyl bromide in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran. It is well understood that if R.sub.17 ' contains an alkyl, alkenyl or alkynyl substituted by a reactive function, this can be provisionally protected by the usual methods.
The novel process of the invention for the preparation of compounds of formula I' wherein X is arylene and Y is aliphatic optionally linked to arylene by a double or triple bond and having at least 3 carbon atoms or linked to arylene through an oxygen atom comprises reacting a compound of the formula ##STR15## wherein W is either --OH or --C.tbd.CH, the rings A' and B', Ra.sub.17 and Ra.sub.17 ' having the same meanings as indicated above for rings A and B, R.sub.17 and R.sub.17 ' and in which the 3- and 17-reactive functions are optionally protected or, when W is --C.tbd.CH reacted with a halogenation agent of the formula ##STR16## wherein Hal is halogen, Z, RA, and RA' have the above definitions and Y' is aliphatic Y having 2 carbon atoms missing, in the presence of a strong base, and optionally to the action of a deprotection agent to obtain a product of the formula ##STR17## which optionally is reacted with a partial or total reducing agent of the triple bond to obtain a product of the formula ##STR18## or, in the case where W is --OH to the action of a halogenated derivative of the formula ##STR19## in which Hal, Y, Z, RA and RA' have the above definitions in the presence of an alkaline agent, and optionally reacting with a deprotection agent to obtain a product of the formula ##STR20## which optionally, when Y is an unsaturated aliphatic is reacted with a partial or total reducing agent, and the products of formula I.sub.A ', I.sub.B ' or I.sub.A " may be subjected to any one of the reactions indicated above for Ia, Ia', Ib and Ib'.
In a preferred process of the invention, the optional protection groups of the 3- or 17-hydroxyl are selected from the standard groups such as tetrahydropyranyl and tert.-butyl and the halogen of Hal may be bromine, chlorine or idodine. The strong base used is, for example, butyllithium or sodium hydride and the alkaline agent used is an alkali metal hydroxide such as sodium hydroxide. The blocking of the protected functions may be effected using of a standard hydrolysis agent such as hydrochloric acid and the optional reduction of the triple bond is effected either using hydrogen in the presence of palladium on activated charcoal, barium sulfate and optionally a base such as pyridine or quinoline in the case of a partial reduction. Palladium hydroxide is used alone in the case of a total reduction. In the compounds of formula X used initially, W is in the para position.
In a variation of the processes, the products of formula I wherein Z is a simple bond and Y is a linear aliphatic terminated by vinylene before the amide function, a compound of the formula ##STR21## corresponding to the product of formula II in which Y" is the aliphatic chain Y containing 2 carbon atoms missing, is reacted with an oxidation agent to obtain the corresponding aldehyde which is reacted with a phosphorane of the formula ##STR22##
The products of formula I in which Y is a branched aliphatic chain can be prepared by alkylation of the products of formula I in which Y is a linear aliphatic chain after having, if appropriate, blocked the 3- and/or 17-reactive functions. The alkylation is effected by using an alkyl halide such as methyl iodide in the presence of lithium diisopropylamide. The products of formula III can be prepared by alkaline hydrolysis of the corresponding products containing at 11.beta. position a --X--Y--CN chain ducts obtained starting with products of formula II' as defined above in which one protects the hydroxyl functions, then is reacted with a halogenation agent such as an alkali metal halide, for example, sodium iodide and then an alkali metal cyanide such as potassium cyanide.
The novel hormonal compositions of the invention are comprised of an hormonally effective amount of at least one compound of formula I and an inert pharmaceutical carrier or excipient.

The compositions containing compounds of formula I present interesting pharmacological properties. The study of products on the hormonal receptors has brought to the fore that the compounds of formula Ia and Ia' possess glucocoticoid or antiglucocorticoid, progrestomimetic or antiprogestomimetic, androgen or antiandrogen, antimineralocorticoid, estrogen or anti-estrogen activity and the compounds of formulae Ib and Ib' possess particularly a remarkable anti-estrogen activity and anti-proliferative properties as shown by the results of tests given intra.
These properties make the compositions containing compounds of formula Ia and Ia' useful for combatting the side effects of glucocorticoids and permit the combatting of disorders due to a hypersecretion of glucocorticoids and notably the combatting of aging in general and more particularly the combatting of hypertension, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, diabetes, obesity as well as the depression of immunity and insomnia. These compositions are equally of interest in the treatment of certain hormonal-dependent tumors.
The compositions containing compounds of formulae Ia and Ia' which possess antiprogestomimetic properties can be used for the preparation of original contraceptives or as abortion agents and are useful for inducing (menstrual) periods in women and more generally in warm-blooded female animals. The compositions are administered during the periods where progesterone plays an essential physiological role, i.e., during the luteal phase of the cycle, at the moment of nidation (or implantation of the embryo) and during pregnancy. One method of contraception of the invention consists of administering to the woman at least one of the products of formula Ia or Ia' over 1 to 5 days, preferably at the end of the cycle. This product is then preferably administered orally or in vagino but it can also be administered parenterally and endonasally.
The compositions containing the compounds of formulae Ia and Ia' possessing anti-progestomimetic properties are also useful against hormone irregularities and, are of interest in the treatment of hormono-dependent tumors. Their actions on hypophysial secretions make the products usable in the menopause and these compositions can be used in the synchronization of estrus in farm animals, particularly cattle and sheep and for controlling the fertility of pets such as dogs or cats. Equally the compositions containing compounds of formulae Ia and Ia' can have progestomimetic properties and can be used in the treatment of amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea and luteal insufficiencies.
The compositions of compounds of formulae Ia and Ia' which possess anti-androgenic properties can be used in the treatment of hypertrophia and cancer of the prostate, hyperandrogenia, anemia, hirsutism and acne. Equally they can be used for male contraceptives.
The compositions of compounds of formulae Ia and Ia' which possess estrogenic properties make them useful in the treatment of disorders linked to a hypofolliculinia for example amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, repeated miscarriages, premenstrual troubles as well as in the treatment of the menopause and of osteoporosis.
The anti-estrogen and anti-proliferation properties of compositions containing the compounds of formulae Ib and Ib' make them useful in the treatment of mammary carcinomas and their metastases and in the treatment of benign tumors of the breast.
Among the preferred compositions of the invention are those containing the compounds of Examples 8, 16, 19, 21, 35, 37, 43, 46, 55, 71 and 75.

Estrogenic Receptor of Mouse Uterus
Impuberal female mice aged from 18 to 21 days were killed and their uteri were removed, the homogenized at 0.degree. C. with the aid of a Potter teflon-glass in a TS buffered solution (10 mM Tris, 0.25M saccharose, HCL pH 7.4) (1 g of tissue for 25 ml of TS ). The homogenate was ultracentrifuged (105,000 g.times.90 min) at 0.degree. C. and aliquots of the supernatant were incubated at 0.degree. C. or at 25.degree. C. for a time (t) with a constant concentration (T) of tritiated estradiol in the presence of increasing concentrations (0-1000.times.10.sup.-9 M) either of cold estradiol, or of the cold product to be tested. The concentration (B) of bound tritiated estradiol was measured in each incubate by the technique of adsorption on dextran carbon.
Calculation of the Relative Affinity of the Bond
The calculation of the Relative Affinity of the Bond (RAB) was identical for all the receptors. The following 2 curves were traced; the percentage of the bound tritiated hormone B/T was a function of the logarithm of the concentration of the cold reference hormone and B/T as a function of the logarithm of the concentration of the cold product tested.
One determined the straight line of the equation ##EQU1## B/T max=percentage of the bound tritiated hormone for an incubation of this tritiated hormone at the concentration (T).
B/T min=percentage of the bound tritiated hormone for an incubation of this tritiated hormone at the concentration (T) in the presence of a great excess of cold hormone (2500.times.10.sup.-9 M).
The intersections of the straight line I.sub.50 and of the curves make it possible to evaluate the concentrations of the cold reference hormone (CH) and of the tested cold product (CX) which inhibit to an extent of 50% the binding of the tritiated hormone upon the receptor. The relative affinity of the bond (RAB) of the tested product is determined by the equation ##EQU2##
The results obtained are as follows:

B. Anti-proliferative Activity of the Products of the Invention Upon the Growth of MCF-7 Mammary Tumoral Cells
Description of the Test
a) Cell Culture:
The MCF-7 strains were kept under culture in FCS(1) medium at 37.degree. C. under a humid atmosphere containing 5% CO.sub.2 and the cells at subconfluence were harvested by trypsination (0.05% trypsine, 0.02% EDTA), then rinsed by gentle centrifugation. A sample of the cells in suspension was counted on Malassez cell.
b) Growth Study:
The cells, resuspended in FCS medium, were seeded at a rate of 30,000 cells per pit in multi-pit plates (24 pits of 2.5 cm.sup.2) and twenty four hours after seeding (D0), the product to be tested was added to the medium in ethanolic solution (final concentration in ethanol: 0.1%), at a concentration of 10.sup.-12 to 10.sup.-6 M, the control pits receiving the same concentration of ethanol. The media were renewed every 48 hours and at the end of the experiment (D6), the medium was sucked off and the cells were immediately fixed with 150 microliters of methanol to estimate the DNA. The anti-proliferative activity of the products was evaluated by their capacity to inhibit the increase of DNA.
c) Measurement of DNA:
The DNA was measured by a fluorimetric method employing DABA (3,5-diaminobenzoic acid) (2): 150 microliters of DABA were added to each of the pits and the plates were then incubated for 45 minutes at 56.degree. C., then 2 ml of 1N HCl were added. The fluorescence was measured with the aid of a fluorimeter (length of the exiting wave: 408 nm, length of the emitting wave: 501 nm). The quantity of DNA per pit was evaluated with reference to a standard scale obtained by treating a standard DNA from calf thymus under the same conditions.
