Cholesterol - some reactions
« on: February 01, 2009, 02:36:44 PM »
Cholesterol + H3O+ at room temperature  :rarrow: ?

Cholesterol + Diborane,water/H2O2,OH-  :rarrow: ?

Predict with stereochemistry?

I'm aware of both reactions, but my doubt is this:
Should'nt in each case a pair of diastereomers be formed? The question came in an exam and the solution expected only one product.... ???
