Abstract
Modified steroids have attracted a great deal of attention these last years. Their preparation is a stimulating challenge to the organic chemist, often demanding development of new and generally useful reactions. Moreover, the biological properties of modified steroids have proved to be of interest. The recent development in the partial and total syntheses of azasteroids is herein described.
