Procedure

To a solution of 50 gm (0.13 mol) of ergosterol (1) in 300 ml of anhydrous pyridine was added 33.3 ml (0.35 mol) of acetic anhydride. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight and then 600 ml of water was added. The precipitate was filtered and washed three times with 200 ml portions of acetonitrile and then air dried to yield 42.0 g (74%) of (2).
