title: Stereoselective synthesis of (24R and 24S) 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25-pentols and (25R and 25S) 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,25,26-pentols using a modified osmium-catalyzed Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation process.
abstract: Described herein are the stereoselective syntheses of the (24R, 24S) and (25R, 25S) isomers of 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,24,25-pentols and 5 beta-cholestane-3 alpha,7 alpha,12 alpha,25,26-pentols by using a modified osmium-catalyzed Sharpless asymmetric dihydroxylation process. Also presented herein are the results of lanthanide-induced CD Cotton effect measurements and 1H- and 13C-nuclear magnetic resonance studies of (24R, 24S) and (25R, 25S)-5 beta-cholestanepentols and their derivatives. These compounds were required to study the biosynthesis of cholic acid from cholesterol.
