Literature References: Differs from ergosterol in the steric configuration at C-9 and C-10. Formation via isopyrocalciferol: Askew et al., Proc. Roy. Soc. London B109, 488 (1932); Windaus et al., Nachr. Ges. Wiss. Goettingen Math.-Phys. Kl. 1932, 150. Dehydrogenation with selenium gives Diel's hydrocarbon (3¢-methyl-1,2-cyclopentenophenanthrene). Fieser, Fieser, Steroids (New York, 1959) pp 136-143, argue the configuration at C-9 and C-10. See also Castells et al., J. Chem. Soc. 1959, 1159.
