This shows that developing this reaction on a large scale would not be feasible because of the amount of product obtained. If cholest-4-en-3-one could be collected as a major product this experiment would allow access into creating steroids which could be further reacted to have akyl chains with differing properties16. This would allow for further pharmaceutical application. TEMPO could have further application as an environmentally oxidant when coupled with a radical to produce less by-products such as salts and toxins which are hard to remove from your product and dangerous for the
