Abstract

It has been demonstrated that the hydroboration of 7-dehydrocholesterol takes place according to a 1:2 mechanism, leading to an allylic boron compound in which boron atom is in the 6α position. Treatment of this boron compound with acetic acid or acetic anhydride-acetic acid, leads through protonolysis and simultaneous migration of the double bond, to Δ 6-3β hydroxy cholestene.
