A new method for the preparation of ent-cholesterol from ent-testosterone
摘要:
An efficient total synthesis of the enantiomer of cholesterol is reported. The enantiomer of testosterone was prepared and converted into a C-21 3-silyloxy-Delta(5,17(20))-diene according to literature procedures. The additional five carbon atoms of the cholesterol side chain were introduced by an ene reaction. Selective hydrogenation of the resultant Delta(16) double bond and removal of the 22-hydroxyl group by a mesylation and demesylation sequence gave ent-cholesterol in 9.7% overall yield from ent-testosterone (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
