title: Homogeneous catalytic dehalodimerization of 17-iodo-delta 16 steroids.
abstract: 17-Iodo-delta 16 steroids undergo selective dimerization and carbonylative dimerization in the presence of palladium catalysts in dimethylformamide which result in 16-17'-coupled dienes and 17-carboxylic anhydrides, respectively. Moderate to good yields have been obtained for both types of dimers.
