Abstract
2,3-Oxidosqualene analogues possessing a Δ double bond with the natural E-stereochemistry 1b-d are cyclised by pig liver sterol cyclase or "ultrasonically stimulated⌉ bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) whereas their stereoisomers possessing a Δsu18-19 double bond with the unnatural Z-stereochemistry 1′ possess a different behaviour toward the same cyclases. They are still cyclised by pig liver sterol cyclase but are inert toward "ultrasonically stimulated" bakers' yeast. 2,3-Oxidosqualene analogues possessing a Δ double bond with the natural E-stereochemistry are cyclised by pig liver sterol cyclase or "ultrasonically stimulated" bakers' yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) whereas their stereoisomers possessing a Δ double bond with the unnatural Z-stereochemistry possess a different behaviour toward the same cyclases.
