Synthesis of novel D-ring fused 7′-aryl-androstano[17,16-d][1,2,4] triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidines

► Novel steroidal[17,16-d]triazolopyrimidines were synthesized. ► These heterosteroids contain the 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine moiety. ► Aminotriazole reacted with 16-arylidene-17-ketosteroids to give the heterosteroids.
