Oxyfunctionalization of unactivated methine carbon atoms with dimethyldioxirane (DMDO) is studied for various substituted steroids related to the 5β-cholane and 5α-cholestane series. A highly efficient, stereoselective, one-step remote oxidation of specific methine carbons is attained by DMDO oxidation under mild conditions to give a variety of novel mono- and dihydroxylated steroids. The reactivity and site selectivity

Synthesis, aggregation behavior and in vitro cholesterolsolubilizationstudies of 16-epi-pythocholic acid (3 alpha,12 alpha,16 beta-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholan-24-oic acid, EPCA) are reported. The synthesis of this unnatural epimer of pythocholic acid (3 alpha,12 alpha,16 alpha-trihydroxy-5 beta-cholan-24-oic acid, PCA) involves a series of simple and selective chemical transformations with an overall
