Ij. Elenkov et al., SYNTHESIS OF STERYL ESTERS OF PHENOLIC-ACIDS BY A HETEROGENEOUS WITTIG REACTION, Journal of natural products, 58(2), 1995, pp. 280-283
Natural steryl esters of phenolic acids and their analogues [3-17] hav
e been synthesized by a heterogeneous Wittig reaction from (carbochole
steryloxymethyl)-triphenylphosphonium bromide and unprotected phenolic
aldehydes using K2CO3 as a base under sonochemical conditions. The sy
nthetic compounds were characterized by their H-1-nmr, mass, and uv sp
ectra.
