✦ Synopsis
(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 3 beta-hydroxy-5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one, was characterized by the results of mass spectral studies and by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Full 1H and 13C NMR assignments for III and 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-ene-3 beta,15 beta-diol are given and used to establish the structure of III. The triol was found to be very potent in lowering the levels of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase activity in Chinese hamster ovary cells.

## 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
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
