title: Synthesis of new C-19-functionalized cholesterols.
abstract: A series of new derivatives of cholesterol bearing polar functional groups on carbon-19 were synthesized, including 19-oximino-, 19-amino-, 19-(methylamino)-, 19-mercapto-, and 19-(methylthio) cholesterol, and 3 beta-hydroxycholest-5-en-19-oic acid, as well as an unusual cyclosterol, 5,19-cyclocholest-6-en-3 beta-ol.
