versatile oxidation reagent. With this reagent different types of primary and secondary hydroxy compounds are converted to their carbonyl derivatives. Aldehydes could be transformed to their carboxylic acids. Benzylic chloride and bromides are converted to their aldehydes and carboxylic acids. Semicarbazide and 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivatives of benzylic carbonylcompounds undergo carbon-nitrogen

The present disclosure provides methods of preparing cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, or chenodeoxycholic acid, an ester thereof, or a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable salt thereof, and novel and useful synthetic intermediates, for example, as described for methods 1, 1A, 1B, 2, 3, 3A, and 4. The method can start with a plant derived steroid as a starting material, such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) or Acetyl-dehydroepiandrosterone (Ac-DHEA). Also provided are pharmaceutical or cosmetic compositions and uses thereof, which comprise one or more of cholic acid, deoxycholic acid, or chenodeoxycholic acid, an ester thereof, or a pharmaceutically or cosmetically acceptable salt thereof, which is of high purity, for example, free of animal derived impurities.
