Abstract:
17-(1,2,3-Dithiazole) androstene derivatives were synthesized from commercially available Pregnenolone acetate involving the reaction between 3b-acetoxy-20-hydroxyimino-5-pregnene with sulfur monochloride as the key step.
Keywords:androstene derivatives, 1,2,3-dithiazoles, acetoximes, determination of configuration, synthesis.
