Abstract excerpt
Steroidal C7β alcohols and their respective esters have shown significant promise as neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory agents to treat chronic neuronal damage like stroke, brain trauma, and cerebral ischemia. Since C7 is spatially far away from any functional groups that could direct C-H activation, these transformations are not readily accessible using modern synthetic organic techniques. Reported here are...
