Abstract
Process for the production of hydroxylated derivatives of cholesterol and 7-dehydrocholesterol which comprises subjecting a saturated unsubstituted or substituted derivative of cholestane, dissolved in a suitable solvent, in the presence of peracetic acid, to irradiation with ultra-violet radiation of a wavelength below 350m.mu. , or heating in a suitable solvent, separating the reaction products, which if desired, are converted to other derivatives, and recovering the residue of the starting material. Novel derivatives are obtained and these are: 3.beta.-acetoxy,25-hydroxy,5.alpha.-cholestane; 3.beta.-acetoxy, 5.alpha.,25-dihydroxy cholestane; 3.beta.,5.alpha.,25-trihydroxy cholestane; 3-keto, 5.alpha.,25-dihydroxy cholestane; 3-keto,25-hydroxy-.DELTA..sup.4 -cholestane; 3.beta.,25-diacetoxy-5.alpha.-hydroxy-cholestane; 3.beta.-acetoxy, 25-trichloroacetoxy-5.alpha.-hydroxy-cholestane, 25-trichloroacetoxy-cholesterol and 25-acetoxy-cholesterol.
