ISOLATION AND SYNTHESIS OF E-24-ETHYLIDENE-5ALPHA-LANOST-8-EN-3BETA-YL ACETATE Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • Extraction of the fungus Mucorrouxii gave small amounts of a 32 carbon triterpene (M+ 454). Spectroscopic studies suggested a lanosterol ring skeleton with a 24-ethylidene group introduced into the side chain. The structure was confirmed by synthesis and shown to be E-24-ethylidene-5-lanost-8-en-3-yl acetate.
