Synthesis
Extension of the chain of double bonds in androstenes provides yet another site for modifying the basic structure.
Bromination of the intermediate () that features the 1,4-dien-3-one system proceed on the allylic position at C6 (). Dehydrobromination by means of lithium carbonate in DMF leads to formation of the 1,4,6-trien-3-one system (). Treatment of that intermediate with thioacetic acid proceeds to add one thiol group to each end of the conjugated systems to afford the bisthiolated product thiomestrone ().
