SYNTHESIS OF SOME NEW CHOLESTERYL ESTERS OF CHIRAL ALKANOIC ACIDS.

Article abstract of DOI:10.1080/15421407408083119

Six new cholesteryl esters have been prepared from chiral alkanoic acids. Oxidation of 2(S)-methylbutanol and 2(S)-ethyl-3-methybutyraldehyde gave the corresponding butyric acids, while condensation of the tosylates of the corresponding alcohols with diethyl malonate led ultimately to the substituted hexanoic acids. 2(R)-Methylpentanoic and ( minus )-2-ethylhexanoic acids were commercially available.
