A four-step synthesis of 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one (I) from 7-dehydrocholesterol is described. This synthesis, which is efficient and suitable for kilogram scale work, was carried out in a 33% overall average yield (39% overall best yield). A major byproduct of the hydrolysis of

(25R)-5 alpha-Cholest-8(14)-ene-3 beta,15 beta,26-triol (III) was prepared by reduction of (25R)-3 beta,26-diacetoxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one with sodium borohydride followed by treatment of the crude product with lithium aluminium hydride. The trihydroxysterol III, a potential metabolite of
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
