Reference*<br />

* References 86a-413 are listed on pp. 416-422,<br />

f There were isolated 3(a)-hydroxy-A 1:l -ch.olenic acid and three 3,11,12-trihydroxycholanic acids.<br />

$ No alkaline catalyst was used.<br />

§ The yield was 32%, 78%, and 83% in triethanolamine, diethylene glycol, and octyl alcohol<br />

respectively.<br />

Il The yield was 5%, 47%, and 60% in triethanolamine, diethylene glycol, and triethylene glycol<br />

respectively.<br />

*f Not isolated as such.<br />

** There were also formed some cholesterol and some /S-cholestanol.<br />

ft There were also formed lesser amounts of a-coprostanol, /3-cholestanol, cholesterol, and allocholesterol.<br />

Jt Not isolated as such.<br />

§§ By the Wolff reduction of the semicarbazone at 180° with either sodium ethoxide or sodium<br />

benzylate as catalyst there were formed only a- and /3-cholestanols. At 200° the semicarbazone,<br />

hydrazone or azine yielded 75% of cholestanols and 15% of cholestane. The semicarbazone on treatment<br />

with sodium ethoxide and hydrazine hydrate gave 75% of cholestane; the azine under the same<br />

conditions gave 98% of cholestane.<br />
