✦ Synopsis
126,27-'3C,]-24-Methyl-A'4-cholesterol (1) and [26,27-"C*]-24-ethyl-A~~-cholesterol
(2) have been chemically synthesized to examine their ability as precursors of (24R)-and (24S)-24. methylcholesterols and (24R )-24.ethylcholesterol, respectively. Feeding of these tetra-substituted olefins to the tissue cultures of Curharonthu ~mu.~ and Oryzcr .wiw followed by 13C-NMR analysis of the biosynthesized sterols have demonstrated that the former rterol (1) was converted both into campesterol and dihydrobrassicasterol, and the latter sterol (2) into sitosterol. The results ruongly support that these A24-sterols are intermediates, most likely as immediate precursors, of 24-alkylsterols, in higher plants.
