Abstract

22-Hydroxyhopan-3-one was converted to various C27 hopane hydrocarbons: 22,29,30-trinorhopane, 22,29,30-trinor-17a-hopane, 22,29,30-trinor-28(18→17S)abeo-13α,18β-hopane, and 22,29,30-trinor-28(18→ 17S)abeo-13α,18α-hopane. These hydrocarbons are useful as biological markers in studies related to the source, maturation, and migration of crude oils.
