Page/Page column 2, (2009/12/02)
A process for synthesis of androstane 17-β carbothioic acid is provided. The process includes mixing an androstane 17-β carboxylic acid and a coupling reagent, and adding an alkanethioic acid to form an androstane 17-β carbothioic acid, wherein the androstane 17-β carbothioic acid has the formula (I): wherein R1 represents hydrogen or haloalkyl groups, R2 represents C1-8 linear alkyl groups, C1-8 branched alkyl groups, C1-6 unsaturated acyclic groups or aromatic groups, R3 represents hydrogen or hydroxyl, R4 represents hydrogen, bromine, chlorine or fluorine and R5 represents hydrogen, bromine, chlorine or fluorine. The process is a one-pot reaction.
