Abstract

A simple and convenient synthesis of cholesterol esters from cholesterol and fatty acid anhydrides is described. The high, reproducible yield of cholesterol ester and the small excess of fatty acid used makes this method attractive for the preparation of cholesterol esters using difficulty obtained fatty acids.
