Participants

Reaction Steps

5α-Cholest-8(14)-en-15-on-3β-yl pyridinium sulfate (1.0 g; 1.79 mmol) was dissolved in distilled water (50 ml) at room temperature and an aqueous saturated solution of potassium chloride was slowly added to the stirred mixture. After 15 min the resulting suspension was filtered, washed with water, and dried in a vacuum desiccator for several hours. The resulting white residue (0.85 g; 89%), was shown by i.r., n.m.r., and m.s. analyses to be 5α-cholest-8(14)-en-15-on-3β-yl potassium sulfate (monohydrate) having the structure: ##STR56##
