X (SCHGHsh VR = H; X = (SCH;COzHj, We had independently prepared the dibenzyl- mercaptol (IV) in 65% yield by directly condens- ing dehydroisoandrosterone with benzylmercap- tan in the presence of zinc chloride and sodium acetate. Acetylation with acetic anhydride in pyridine at room temperature gave the acetate (11) of ...
