Abstract
A new sterol, 4α-methyl-24-methylene-5α-cholestan-3β,8β-diol (1) and three known sterols 4α-methyl-24-methylenecholestan-3β-ol, 4α-methylcholestan-3β-ol and 24-methylenecholest-4-en-3-one are isolated from the soft coral Nephthea chabroli and characterized through spectral data and in the case of 1 by X-ray crystallographic analysis.
