ResumoHydroboration of 5α-cholesta-8,14-dien-3β-ol (I) gave 5α-cholest-8-en-3β,15α-diol (IV) in 89% yield. 5α-Cholest-7-en-3β,15α-diol (V) was prepared in 91% yield by hydroboration of 5α-cholesta-7,14-dien-3β-ol (II). Hydroboration of 27:63 mixture of I and II gave IV and V in 18% and 70% yields, respectively. 5α-Cholest-8-en-15α-ol-3-one and 5α-cholest-7-en-15α-ol-3-one were prepared in high yields from IV and V, respectively, by either selective oxidation with silver carbonate-celite or by enzymatic oxidation using cholesterol oxidase. 7α,8α-Epoxy-5α-cholestan-3β,15α-diol (VIII) was prepared in 93% yield by treatment of V with m-chloroperbenzoic acid. 5α-Cholest-8(14)-en-7α-ol-3,15-dione (IX) was prepared in 56% yield by oxidation of VIII with pyridinium chlorochromate followed by treatment of the crude product with acid. Compound IX was also obtained in 72% yield by selective chemical oxidation of 5α-cholest-8(14)-en-3β,7α,15α-triol. 5α-Cholesta-6,8(14)-dien-3,15-dione (X) was prepared in 89% yield by treatment of IX with p-toluenesulfonic acid under controlled conditions. Reduction of X with lithium tri-tert-butoxyaluminum hydride under controlled conditions gave 5α-cholesta-6,8(14)-dien-3β-ol-15-one in 84% yield.
