Abstract

The syntheses of a number of alkyl and aryl derivatives of 3, j-diiodotliyronine are described. lhplienyl ethcr intermediates required for these syntheses were prepared by one of two general procedures. The ability of the final compounds (I17a-h and XIa, d) to lower plasma cholesterol levels in rats fed a cholesterol-cholic acid diet is also reported.
