Steroids are important scaffolds for the synthesis of molecules of pharmaceutical interest and constitute a distinct family of natural products. The demand for green and sustainable chemistry has fostered for the development of new reactions and chemical processes in steroidal chemistry. This review describes state-of-the-art approaches such as heterogeneous catalysis, microwave synthesis and microbial transformations for steroid synthesis.
