title: Synthesis of highly pure oxyphytosterols and (oxy)phytosterol esters Part I. Regioselective hydrogenation of stigmasterol: an easy access to oxyphytosterols.
abstract: The synthesis of several oxyphytosterols is described starting from stigmasterol, the key step being the regioselective hydrogenation of the 22-23 double bond of the latter.
