Squalene 2, 3-oxide (I) is cyclized to lanosterol (II) by a microsomal enzyme system of mammalianliver, 1-4 and squalene 2, 3-oxide analogs, modifiedin the termi-nal6-6 and more central7 portions of the molecule, are also cyclized by this enzyme system. Structural modi-fications of the squalene 2, 3-oxide molecule in the proximity of the oxide ring should exert strong elec-tronic and steric effects upon the initiation of enzymic cyclization. Exploration of these effectsmay elucidate features of enzyme-substrate interaction that govern this initial phase of cyclization. We have therefore subjected 2, 3-cis-and 2, 3-trans-l'-norsqualene 2, 3-oxides (IIIa, b) to the action of the cyclase system and have found that only the 2, 3-trans-oxide Illb yields a 4-desmethyllanosterol analog (4, 14a-dimethyl-A8-2 4-cholestadien-3/3-ol, IV).2, 3-cis-and 2, 3-trans-l'-norsqualene 2, 3-oxides (Ilia and Illb) were prepared from [4-3H] 1, 1', 2-trisnor-squalene-3-carboxaldehyde8 by reaction with diethylsulfonium ethylide. 9 The more mobile trans isomer was separated from the cis by repeated continuous tic10 on silica gel with 3% EtOAc-hexane for 2, 5 hr. Ilia and Illb, with HCIO4-H2O, gave the corresponding glycols Va and Vb which afforded the corresponding pure acetonides Via and VIb. These, unlike theoxides, were stable on glpc11 on columns of Carbowax, with Rc 1.71 (Via) and 2.03 (VIb).
