Synthesis of 14 beta-cholesta-5,7-dien-3 beta-ol

Steroids. 1987 Jun;49(6):543-52. doi: 10.1016/0039-128x(87)90094-8.

Abstract

5,7-Cholestadien-3 beta-ol was transformed into 14 beta-cholesta-5,7-dien-3 beta-ol in six steps. The inversion of the stereochemistry at C-14 was obtained by a selective protection of the delta 5 and the elaboration of the delta 7 double bond.
