Chemical synthesis of (22E)-3α,6β,7β-trihydroxy-5β-chol-22-en-24-oic acid and its taurine and glycine conjugates

A method for the synthesis of Δ22-β-muricholic acid (Δ22-β-MCA), (22E)-3α,6β,7β-trihydroxy-5β-chol-22-en-24-oic acid, and its taurine and glycine conjugates (Δ22-β-muricholyltaurine and Δ22-β-muricholylglycine) is described. The key intermediate, 3α,6β,7β-triformyloxy-23,24-dinor-5β-cholan-22-al, wa...
