Reaction Steps

By use of the procedure described in the literature [Kosower, E. M. and Weinstein, S., J. Am. Chem. Soc., 78 (1956) 4347-4354; and Davis, M., J. Chem. Soc., (1962) 178-181] cholesteryl p-toluenesulfonate and 1,6-hexanediol were condensed in boiling dioxane to give cholest-5-en-3β-yl 6-hydroxyhexyl ether in 52% yield as colorless plates (from hexane), m.p. 75.9°-81° C.
