Abstract
Heterocyclic system namely cholest-5-en-(3R)-spiro-Delta2'-1', 3', 4'-oxadiazoline 3 has been synthesized via the reaction of cholest-5-en-3-one semicarbazone 2 with acetic anhydride and pyridine at 80degreesC, in high yield. Cholest-5-en-3-one semicarbazone 2 is obtained by the condensation of cholest-5-en-3-one 1 with semicarbazide hydrochloride. The products 2 and 3 are characterized by their physical, analytical and spectral (IR, H-1 NMR) data.
