For liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry analysis, the stable isotope-labeled derivatives of the analyte molecules are the most appropriate internal standards. We report here the synthesis of (2 beta,3 alpha,6-H-2(3))cholesteryl linoleate and oleate containing three non-exchangeable deuterium in the steroid ring. The principal reactions used were: (1) trans diaxial opening of 2 alpha,3 alpha-epoxy-6-oxo-5 alpha-cholestane with LiAlD4 and subsequent oxidation of the resulting (2 beta,6 alpha-H-2(2))-3 alpha,6 beta-diol with Jones' reagent, followed by reduction of the resulting (2 beta-H-2)-3,6-dione with NaBD4 leading to the (2 beta,3 alpha,6 alpha-H-2(3))-3 beta,6 beta-dihydroxy-5 alpha-cholestane, (2) selective protection of the 3 beta-hydroxy group as the tert-butyldimethylsilyl ether, (3) dehydration of the 6 beta-hydroxy group with POCI3 and removal of tert-butyldimethylsilyloxy groups with 5 M HCl in acetone, and (4) esterification of the resultant (2 beta,3 alpha,6-H-2(3))cholesterol with linoleic and oleic acids using 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyI)-3-ethylcarbodiim ide. The isotopic purity was found to be satisfactory by mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance properties of the new compounds were tabulated. The labeled compounds can be used as internal standards in liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry assays for clinical and biochemical studies. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.
