## Abstract Oxidation of 5α‐cholest‐8(14)‐ene‐3β,7α,15α‐triol with silver carbonate‐celite gave 5α‐cholest‐8(14)‐ene‐7α,15α‐diol‐3‐one in 88% yield. Treatment of the latter compound with tritiated water under basic conditions gave a labeled product which was reduced with lithium tri‐__tert__‐butoxy
The X-ray crystal structure of 3~-(p-bromobenzoyloxy)-5~-cholesta-8,14-diene (space group P21, a = 10.698 ,/~, b = 9.487 .~, c = 15.024 A, ~ = 96.05 °, Z = 2) was determined by the heavy atom method and refined to R = 0.075. This heavy atom derivative was synthesized from 5~-cholesta-8,14-dien-31~-o
The X-ray crystal structure of 3~-benzoyloxy-6a-chloro-5a-cholest-7-ene (IV) was determined by the heavy atom method and ref'med to R ---0.063 (space group P2s, a --11.364, b = 11.089, c --12.232,/~ = 99.43 °, Z ---2). IV was previously shown to be an important intermediate in the acid-catalyzed iso
