c. PCC
d. oleic acid,
e. [1]
(a)
Interpretation: The product formed on treatment of cholesterol with
Concept introduction: In the presence of base, the hydroxyl group loses its proton to form alkoxide. The alkoxide attacks on the carbonyl carbon of acyl chloride or anhydride to leading to the formation of acyl group and removal of chloride. This process is known as acylation.
Answer to Problem 30.38P

The product formed on treatment of cholesterol with PCC is shown in Figure 5.
(d)
Interpretation: The product formed on treatment of cholesterol with oleic acid,
Concept introduction: In presence of acid, the carboxylic acids are converted to ester using alcohols. This process is known as esterification.
Answer to Problem 30.38P
The product formed on treatment of cholesterol with oleic acid,
Figure 7
Explanation of Solution
In the presence of acid, the hydroxyl group of cholesterol reacts with oleic acid to form ester. The corresponding chemical reaction is shown below.

(e)
Interpretation: The product formed on treatment of cholesterol with 1.
Concept introduction: In the presence of borane, hydroperoxide and base the alkenes are converted to alcohols. In this reaction hydrogen atom and hydroxyl groups are added to the double bond. This reaction takes place in anti-markovnikov addition manner. This is a syn addition.
Answer to Problem 30.38P
The product formed on treatment of cholesterol with 1.
