Peracids oxidation of cholesta-5,8-dien-3b-yl acetate

Expoxidation of cholesta-5,8-dien-3b-yl acetate (1) with peracids takes place preferentially at the more highly substituted D8-olefinic double bond to give: (a) with monoperphthalic acid, 8a,9a-epoxycholest-5-en-3b-yl acetate (2) (in 39 % yield) and 9a-hydroxy-5a,6a-epoxycholest-8(14)-en-3b-yl aceta...
