title: Chromatographic separation of putative precursors of cholestanol.
abstract: This paper describes convenient syntheses for labeled and unlabeled cholest-5-en-3-one, cholest-4-en-3-one, epicholesterol, cholest-4-en-3 beta-ol, and cholest-4-en-3 alpha-ol. The thin-layer chromatography, high-performance liquid chromatography, and gas-liquid chromatography of these compounds and of cholestanol and epicholestanol are also described. The synthesized compounds are potential precursors in the biosynthesis of cholestanol in mammals.
