Selenium Dehydrogenation of Sitosterol [PDF]

Nature, 1933
WE have reported1 that the selenium dehydrogena-tion of cholesterol C27H46O and ergosterol C28H44O gives two different hydrocarbons, C25H24, m.p. 225°, and C26H26, m.p. 214°, respectively, while Diels and Karstens2 claimed the formation of only one product, C25H24, m.p. 220°, from both sterols.
