The readily available steroid cholic acid (1) has several advantages as a precursor for extended, preorganised molecular frameworks.In the present work, full details are given for the conversion of 1 into ''cholaphanes'' 2a,b, the first macrocyclic steroi
Synthesis of Steroidal Cyclodimers from Cholic Acid; a Molecular Framework with Potential for Recognition and Catalysis

Macrocycles (2a-f) were synthesized from cholic acid (1a) in up to 33 percent overall yield; the 'cholaphane' framework on which they are based has substantial potential variability and should prove useful in biomimetic chemistry.
