✦ Synopsis
Hydrogenation of 3/3-benzoyloxy-14a 15ct-epoxy-5,~-cholest-7-ene m benzene over a Raney mckel catalyst gave 3fl-benzoyloxy-5a-cholest-8( 14)-en-15a-ol and 3/3-benzoyloxy-5a-cholest-8( 14)-ene m 39% and 46% yields respectively Hydrogenation of the same a,fl-unsaturated epoxy steryl ester under the same conditions except w~th the inclusion of tnethylamlne (4%) gave 3fl-benzoyloxy-5ct-cholest-8( 14)-en-15a-ol m 89% yield
