Pd-catalyzed steroid reactions

• Palladium catalyzed steroid transformations.
• Heck, Suzuki, Stille, Sonogashira, Negishi and Kumada coupling reactions.
• Tsuji–Trost reaction, Buchwald–Hartwig amination, Pd-catalyzed carbonylation, alkoxycarbonylation and aminocarbonylation.

We review the most important achievements of the last decade in the field of steroid synthesis in the presence of palladium catalysts. Various palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions, including Heck, Suzuki, Stille, Sonogashira, Negishi and others, are exemplified with steroid transformations.
