dc.description.abstractA process for preparing 15-oxygenated sterols, such as 3β-hydroxy-5α-cholest-8(14)-ene-15 one, comprising converting 7-dehydrocholesterol to 3β-benzoyloxycholesta-5,7-diene, converting the 3β-benzoyloxycholesta-5,7-diene to a 3β-benzoyloxy-5-cholesta-7,14-diene, converting the 3β-benzoyloxy-5-cholesta-7,14-diene to a 3β-benzoyloxy-14α, 15α-epoxy-5-cholest-7-ene and converting the 3β-benzoyloxy-14α, 15α-epoxy-5-cholest-7-ene to a 15-oxygenated sterol. Preferably, the 3β-benzoyloxy-cholesta-5,7-diene is converted to a 3β-benzoyloxy-5-cholesta-7,14-diene by (i) contacting 3β-benzoyloxy-cholesta-5,7-diene, in a solvent at a temperature of at most about -55° C., with HCl at a concentration of at least about 2.0 M for a time sufficient to convert the 3β-benzoyloxycholesta-5,7-diene to a 3β-benzoyloxy-5-cholesta-7,14-diene; (ii) neutralizing the resultant reaction mixture with a base to prevent formation of a significant amount of 3β-benzoyloxy-5-cholesta-8,14-diene; and (iii) recovering the 3β-benzoyloxy-5-cholesta-7,14-diene.en_US
