Abstract

Tsuda and coworkers13 reported the isolation of a hydrocarbon (O9H18, oil, melting point of the picrate, 133~ 134 C) among the products of selenium dehydrogenation of the phenol II which they obtained by the dienone-phenol rearrangement of 7-keto-5, 8 (9)-cholestadien- 3/3-yl acetate. The same compound was isolated by them23 from the selenium dehydrogenation products of the anthrasteroid III from 5, 8 (9)-cholestadien-3/3-ol.
