摘要
Lanosterol synthase converts the truncated analog 6 of 2,3-oxidosqualene (1) into three tricyclic products, 7, 8 and 9, each of which contains a five-membered C-ring. The results are in accord with expectations based on previous work indicating that the six-membered C-ring of sterols is formed via a five -membered predecessor.
