Graphical Abstract

Abstract

Two symmetrical dimers and one hybrid dimer in which the steroid cores are connected by a 1,4-phenylene moiety were obtained by double Suzuki–Miyaura cross coupling of benzene-1,4-diboronic acid with 4-bromo-4-en-3-oxosteroids derived from cholesterol and diosgenin. Detailed NMR characterization of the obtained dimers is described.
