Abstract
A novel Cal sterol, 25-methylxestosterol, resulting from quadruple biomethylation in the side chain has been isolated as a trace constituent of the sterol fraction from a Caribbean sponge (Xestospongia sp.). Ita structure (1, 24-methylene-25, 26, 27-trimethylcholesterol) has been elucidated by spectroscopic methods and confirmed by partial synthesis. A biosynthetic route leading to 1 is proposed that is consistent with the hypothesis of stepwise ...
