Abstract

The reaction of labelled cholesterol with a large excess of freshly prepared 14‐methylhexadecanoyl chloride in a simple glass apparatus was used for the synthesis of [^3^H]cholesteryl 14‐methylhexadecanoate in microgram amounts. After purification of the crude product by thin‐layer chromatography, the purity of the final preparation was better than 98% as checked by gas‐liquid and high‐pressure liquid chromatography. On average 90% of the input radioactivity was present in the ester. The same technique was also used for the preparation of [^14^C]cholesteryl 14‐methylhexadecanoate and [^3^H] or [^14^C]cholesteryl laurate, myristate, palmitate, margarate and stearate with similar yields. All these preparations were found suitable for biochemical studies.

3'-D3-Mevalonic acid was required to study triterpenoid biosynthesis. It was synthesized by a simple route in a 24% yield from D3-acetic acid-D. The product was characterized as the crystalline salt: N,N'-dibenzylethylenediammonium bis-(3,5-dihydroxy-3-(D3-methyl)-pentanoate) and was shown by mass s
