Abstract
IN a recent communication in Nature, Hafez1 has described the isolation of a yellow bicholestatriene from the mixture of products obtained by the action of N-bromosuccinimide on Δ6-i-cholestadiene. A compound of similar, if not identical, nature is also occasionally obtained as a by-product of the preparation of 7-dehydrocholesterylacetate from cholesteryl-acetate and N-bromosuccinimide according to the procedure of Bernstein et al.2.
