Abstract
Steroidal phenyl ketones were synthesised in high yields by palladium-catal ysed carbonylation reactions of 17-iodo-androst-16-ene derivatives in the p resence of NaBPh4 under mild reaction conditions. Alkenyl bromides or enol triflates gave lower yields in the same reaction. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
