Abstract
Two acetylenic steroids, cholest‐5‐en‐23‐yn‐3β‐ol (5) and 26,27‐dinorcholest‐5‐en‐23‐yn‐3β‐ol (3), and another unsaturated steroidalcohol, stigmasta‐5,23‐dien‐3β‐ol (7), were isolated from the sponge Calyx nicaaensis. The structures of these two acetylenic steroids were established by synthesis. Several attempts to synthesize the marine steroids alcohol calysterol (1), with a cyclopropene‐containing side chain, starting from cholest‐5‐en‐23‐yn‐3β‐ol are also recorded. Addition of ethyl‐diazo‐acetate to the triple bond was performed, but the reduction to the methyl derivative yielded decomposition products.
