Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The carbon and hydrogen atoms of squalene-2, 3-epoxide which correspond to the carbon and hydrogen atoms in the structure of cholesterol are to be identified for the given conditions.

Concept introduction:

The biosynthesis of cholesterol from squalene-2, 3-epoxide takes place in many steps.

In each step, a new intermediate is formed. The formation of protosteryl cation and lanosterol intermediate is an important step in this mechanism.

Deprotonation, migration of hydrogen atoms and methyl groups, takes place in this mechanism.
