The sterol composition of two asteroids was fairly complex, however 7-cholestenol was predominant in these animals. Cholestanol, 7,22-cholestadienol, stellasterol and 7,24(28)-ergostadienol were isolated from the asteroids as a pure sterol by column chromatography on a silver nitrate-impregnated silicic acid. Moreover, a small amount of sterol isolated from L.leachii was identified as (E)-24-ethylidene-cholest-7-en-3β-ol by IR, mass and NMR spectrometries and GLC.}, pages = {21--31}, title = {(E)-24-Ethylidene-cholest-7-en-3Β-ol and Other Sterols in Asteroids}, volume = {22}, year = {} }
