Abstract
A new method for inversion of chenodeoxycholic to ursodeoxycholic acid which does not involve an intermediary ketone is described. Methyl chenodeoxycholate‐3‐cathylate‐7‐mesylate undergoes a mild reaction with potassium superoxide‐18‐crown ether‐6 in DMSO to give ursodeoxycholic acid in good yield.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
