The stereochemistry of the hydrogen elimination in the biological conversion of cholest-7-en-3-beta-ol into cholesterol.

M Akhtar, S Marsh.   

Abstract

1. The syntheses of Delta(7)-[4-(14)C]cholestenol (XVI, Scheme 3) and Delta(7)-[6alpha-(3)H]-cholestenol (XII, Scheme 2) are described. 2. The metabolism of doubly labelled Delta(7)-cholestenol (II, Scheme 1) by rat-liver homogenates was studied. 3. During the enzymic conversion of Delta(7)-cholestenol into cholesterol (IV, Scheme 1) the 6alpha-hydrogen atom of the former is lost and the overall reaction corresponds to a cis-elimination. 4. In the light of these results various mechanisms for the conversion of Delta(7)-cholestenol into cholesterol are discussed.
