Abstract

A new short route to chenodeoxycholic acid has been developed. The synthesis is based on the stereoselective introduction of the steroidal side chain via an ene reaction of methyl acrylate and a (17Z)‐ethylidene steroid prepared from androstenedione.

## Abstract A simple and efficient new method for the highly stereoselective (at C (17) and C (20)) introduction of steroid side chains which are suitably functionalized for further elaboration is presented. The ene reaction of (17 __Z__)‐ethylidene steroids, which are readily obtained from 17‐keto
