The ozonation of cholesterol: separation and identification of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine derivatization products of 3 beta-hydroxy-5-oxo-5,6-secocholestan-6-al.

    The ozonation products of cholesterol, which are of interest as possible biomarkers of O3 exposure, were studied by derivatization with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNPH). The DNPH derivatization of 3 beta-hydroxy-5-oxo-5,6-secocholestan-6-al (2) produces the expected trans (3b) and cis (3c) derivatives of 3 beta-hydroxy-5-oxo-5,6-secocholestan-6-al, and the unexpected DNPH derivative of 3,5-dihydroxy-B-norcholestane-6-carboxaldehyde (3a). The structures of 3a, 3b, and 3c were identified with 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), 13C NMR, DEPT, COSY, and H-C correlation two-dimensional NMR techniques, and by comparison with the spectra of known compounds. A possible mechanism involving an enamine functionality is proposed for the formation of 3a. The ratio of 3a/(3b + 3c) depends on the concentration of acid used and the reaction time.
