Lanosterol (16) was administered to Pinus pinea and the isofucosteryl acetate (6) obtained was chemically transformed into cholesterol (13).Compound (13) was incubated with rat-liver mitochondria to yield the propionic acid.The data obtained are consistent with a biosynthetic pathway in which the pro-E isopropylidene methyl group of the Δ24-precursor becomes the pro-R isopropyl methyl group in isofucosterol.

(Matrix presented) Herein, we describe the synthesis of fluorescent 2-(arylsulfonyl)methacrylates and its polymers. These novel trifunctional monomers, possessing a fluorescent arylsulfonyl (ArSO2) group, an alkyl group (R), and a polymerizable olefin, serve as useful building blocks for functionalized fluorescent polymers.

Tetracyanoethylene has been shown to be a mild catalyst which possesses some stereoselectivity, for the hydrolysis of the esters of steroidal alcohols.
Me3SI-promoted chemoselective deacetylation: a general and mild protocol
Gurawa, Aakanksha,Kashyap, Sudhir,Kumar, Manoj
, p. 19310 - 19315 (2021/06/03)
A Me3SI-mediated simple and efficient protocol for the chemoselective deprotection of acetyl groups has been developedviaemploying KMnO4as an additive. This chemoselective deacetylation is amenable to a wide range of substrates, tolerating diverse and sensitive functional groups in carbohydrates, amino acids, natural products, heterocycles, and general scaffolds. The protocol is attractive because it uses an environmentally benign reagent system to perform quantitative and clean transformations under ambient conditions.

KMnO4-catalyzed chemoselective deprotection of acetate and controllable deacetylation-oxidation in one pot
Gurawa, Aakanksha,Kumar, Manoj,Rao, Dodla S.,Kashyap, Sudhir
supporting information, p. 16702 - 16707 (2020/10/27)
A novel and efficient protocol for chemoselective deacetylation under ambient conditions was developed using catalytic KMnO4. The stoichiometric use of KMnO4 highlighted the dual role of a heterogeneous oxidant enabling direct access to aromatic aldehydes in one-pot sequential deacetylation-oxidation. The reaction employed an alternative solvent system and allowed the clean transformation of benzyl acetate to sensitive aldehyde in a single step while preventing over-oxidation to acids. Use of inexpensive and readily accessible KMnO4 as an environmentally benign reagent and the ease of the reaction operation were particularly attractive, and enabled the controlled oxidation and facile cleavage of acetate in a preceding step.
