Usage

General Description

5-BETA-ANDROSTAN-3-ALPHA-OL, also known as 5-Androsten-3α-ol, is a steroid and alcohol compound that plays a role in the synthesis of hormones such as testosterone and estrogen. It is naturally produced in the body and is also found in certain plant and animal sources. This chemical has been studied for its potential effects on muscle growth and performance, as well as its role in reproductive health. Additionally, 5-BETA-ANDROSTAN-3-AL has been investigated for its potential use in pharmaceutical and medical applications, including treatment for hormone imbalances and muscle wasting conditions. However, further research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and potential therapeutic uses.

Nickel-Catalyzed Intramolecular Decarbonylative Coupling of Aryl Selenol Esters

This report describes a method for Ni-catalyzed intramolecular decarbonylative coupling, which enables the conversion of areneselenol esters to diaryl selenides. The inexpensive and readily available catalyst can be employed under mild reaction conditions for the construction of structurally diverse diaryl selenides, including heterocyclic and natural product derivatives. (Figure presented.).
