Summary Evidence is submitted which leads to the conclusion that the hydroxyl group in &cholesterol is in position six of the sterol molecule and that during its formation from cholesteryl p-toluenesulfonate a molecular rearrangement occurs. The results obtained and described in this paper substantiate the validity of the structural formula proposed by investigators in this Laboratory for i-cholesterolaj6 and for the isomeric ethers of ...
