Abstract
[3β^3^H]Squalene and [3β^3^H]β2,3βoxidosqualene, key compounds for studying the biosynthesis of sterols, were synthesized. The main step was a modified Wittig reaction of [1β^3^H]trisnorsqualene aldehyde with a phosphorus ylide to give [3β^3^H]squalene or with a sulfur ylide to give [3β^3^H]β2,3βoxidosqualene. These compounds were obtained in high radiochemical yield and high purity under simple conditions.
