Abstract

Due to their high profile biological activity, the steroids are among the most important secondary metabolites. A review of literature on the total synthesis of steroids starting from BISTRO (1,8-bis(trimethylsilyl)-2,6-octadiene) is presented.

Keywords: BISTRO; Intramolecular Diels–Alder; Pyridine; o-Quinodimethane.
