Synthesis of the putative metabolites of plant sterols: (24R)- and (24S)-24-methyl-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,25-tetrols and 24-ethyl-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24 xi-tetrol.

This report describes the synthesis of (24R)- and (24S)-24-methyl-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,25-tetrols and 24-ethyl-5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24 xi-tetrol starting from cholic acid. The bile alcohols epimeric at C-24 were resolved by analytical and preparative thin-...
