Previous studies have established that hydride reduction of 3β-benzoyloxy-5α-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one yields two epimers (at C-15) of 5α-cholest-8(14)-en-3β,15-diol which were designated as diol A and B. Efficient enzymatic conversion of both compounds to cholesterol was observed. To determine the absolute configuration of the 15-OH function in the two compounds, the 3β-p-bromobenzoyl ester of diol B was prepared from 3β-p-bromobenzoyloxy-5α-cholest-8(14)-en-15-one by reduction with sodium borohydride. Crystals of the derivative were found to belong to the space group P1, with unit cell parameters; a = 9.24 Å, b = 12.61 Å, c = 7.03 Å, α = 93.05°, β = 100.27°, γ = 90.82°, and one molecule per unit cell. Least-squares refinement of the structure was carried out to final R value of 0.14. The configuration of the hydroxyl group at the 15 position of diol B has been determined to be β.
