Synthesis of ent-cholesterol, the unnatural enantiomer
摘要:
Cholesterol is ubiquitious in mammals and plays an important role in human health. The unique relationship between enantiomers makes ent-cholesterol, the unnatural enantiomer of cholesterol, a valuable new probe of cholesterol function in biochemical systems. We report the first enantioselective total synthesis of ent-cholesterol.
