Abstract
Steroidal propargylic ester 6 and the propiolic ester 7 were prepared in a few steps from the deoxycholic acid. The Huisgen cycloaddition reaction of alkynes 6 and 7 as dipolarophiles with a 1,3-dipolar compound, the azide 5, afforded the dimeric compounds 8 and 9, respectively, in good yield. The dimers of deoxycholic acid derivatives linked by 1,4-disubstituted 1,2,3-triazole were characterized by spectroscopic methods.
