A pentacarbonylcarbene chromium complex of the diterpenoid methyl O-methylpodocarpate has been prepared and its reactions with some alkynes have been studied with the aim of synthesising ring-C aromatic steroids.The use of diphenylacetylene resulted in cyclisation to give steroidal derivatives in moderate yield.
