Abstract
BF3·Et2O-catalyzed double aldol condensation between acetylated steroid sapogenins and terephtalaldehyde led to acetylated dimeric spirostanols linked through a 1,4-dimethylidenebenzene moiety in moderate to good yields. The E configurations of the introduced double bonds were corroborated by NOE experiments. Saponification of the dimeric steroids led to the corresponding dimeric spirostanols.
