3-Thioxoandrosta-1,4-dien-17-one (1) is subjected to a dienthion-thiophenol reaerangement in aprotic and protic solvents in the presence of an acid catalyst resulting in the formation of 1-(acetylthio)-4-methylestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one (2), 1-mercapto-4-methylestra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-one (3), and the dimer 1,1'-(dithio)bis (4) as the reaction products.The mercapto compound 3 tends to be autoxidized to the sulfide 4. - Keywords: 3-Thioxoandrosta-1,4-dien-17-one, rearrangement of / Thioestratriene
