β¦ Synopsis
The isolation, structure determination and synthesis of 23{R),24{R)-methylene-:holesterol--a possible biosynthetic precursor of brassicasterol--is described.
We had earlier suggested that cyclopropylsterols may be biosynthetic intermediates in the alkylation of marine sterols 2 . In this communication we report the first isolation of ~3{R),24{R)-methylenecholesterol (1), a possible biosynthetic precursor of the naturally

Two new sterols, 26-methylstronqylosterol (3) and 28-methylxestosterol (5), arlSiW from a hitherto unknown quadruple biomethylationsequence, together with the biogenetically important "missing link", durissimasterol (6), were isolated from the Indo-Pacific sponge Strongylophora durissina. Recently w
tero, fp!?.x A new cyclopropyl-containing sterol papakusterol (22-dehydro-24,26-cyclocholes- arising by a hitherto unknown bios nthetic process, was isolated from six "deep sea" gorgonians and its structure elucidated by Y H-NMR analysis and partial synthesis. Traces of the corresponding A5v7-diene
The isolation, structure determination and synthesis of three novel sterols with unusual side chains is reported. A consistent scheme is proposed which accounts for the biosynthesis of all major and minor sterols in this sponge. ## Recently , 3-5 we recorded the structure elucidation of several
## Abstract In addition to the two new sterols verongulasterol **11** and 25βdehydroaplysterol **13** of __Verongia cauliformis__^3^), which were reported earlier [2] [3], the minor and trace sterols of this sponge include five new sterols listed in the title (with the exception of the known 24 __S
