Inhibitors of sterol synthesis. Synthesis and spectral characterization of fatty acids esters of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one

Abstract

Reported herein are the chemical syntheses of 29 fatty acid esters of 5 alpha-cholest-8(14)-en-3 beta-ol-15-one. These compounds were characterized by the results of ultraviolet, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance, and mass spectral studies.
