The present disclosure relates to methods of producing enantiodefined polycyclic ring compounds. More particularly, the present disclosure provides synthetic methods of producing biologically active enantiodefined steroidal compositions of both natural and unnatural (“ent-”) absolute stereochemistry. The present disclosure also relates to methods of using said steroidal compositions prepared from this method as biologically active (e.g., therapeutic) components in compositions and/or directly as human and/or animal therapeutics and medicines. The present disclosure further relates to methods of producing and using said steroidal compositions of matter in chemical, pharmacological, and biological studies and research.
