    Journal: Steroids; 1977 Dec; 30(6):795-804. PubMed ID: 611642.
    Abstract:
    A new synthesis of desmosterol was described using hyodeoxycholic acid (3alpha,6alpha-dihydroxy-5beta-cholanic acid) as a starting material. Epidesmosterol (3alpha-hydroxycholesta-5,24-diene) was also synthesized for the first time from the same starting material.
