Popis: The compound described as ‘cholestane-3,4,6-trione’ by Windaus and Kuhr has been shown to be the 3-ethyl ether of the corresponding dienol. Although relatively stable to acid, the enol ether may be hydrolysed to yield the triketone, a mixture of two stable tautomers, which may be separated readily by fractional crystallisation. Structures have been assigned to the two tautomers on spectroscopic evidence.
