## Abstract A new method for the synthesis of steroids with oxygenated side chains starting from C~22~ steroids is described. Rieke copper, obtained by reduction of lithium 2βthienylcyanocuprate 4 with lithium naphthalenide at β78Β°C or β100Β°C, reacts with the 22βbromosteroids 1a, 2, 14 to afford th
