The discovery that in the steroidal compounds (6) and (15) iodine in the 19-position is smoothly displaced by reactive nucleophiles (CN–, MeSO2S–, N3–) without rearrangement was exploited in the synthesis of 19-methylthio-4-androstene-3,17-dione (14) which was shown to inhibitaromatase by co-ordination of the steroidalsulphur atom to the haem-iron of cytochrome P-450.
