Synthesis of 15alpha-fluoro-24,25-dihydrolanosterol as a potential inhibitor and/or mechanistic probe for lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase.

As a potential inhibitor and/or mechanistic probe for lanosterol 14alpha-demethylase, 15alpha-fluoro-24,25-dihydrolanosterol was prepared by fluorination of 15alpha-hydroxy-24,25-dihydrolanost-7-en-3beta-yl benzoate with diethylaminosulfur trifluoride, followed by hydrogen chloride-catalyzed isomerization of the delta7 to delta8 and reductive cleavage of the benzoate.
