Abstract
Reaction of 3‐thioxoandrosta‐1,4‐dien‐17‐one (1) with the diazo compounds 2a–i affords 4′‐substituted spiro[17‐oxoandrosta‐1,4‐diene‐3,2′‐[1,3,4]thiadiazolines], which undergo a two‐step ring contraction with extrusion of nitrogen and sulfur, leading to the substituted 3‐methylen‐ and 3‐propylidenandrosta‐1,4‐dien‐17‐ones 3a–i in good yields.
