Popis: Some estrone and epiandrosterone derivatives having a sulfur function at C16 were prepared by substitution reaction of 16α- and 16β-bromo-17-ketosteroids with sulfur nucleophiles. The reaction proceeds with inversion at C16. Equilibration experiments on some of the products indicate that the 16β-substituted steroids are thermodynamically more stable than the corresponding α-isomers and the 16-acetylthiosteroids are epimerized faster than the 16-ethylthiosteroids. The proton signals at C16 of the products show characteristic splitting patterns according to their configuration.
