Withdrawn Paper: "Edward J. Parish, Hang Sun, Stephen Kizito and Terrence L. Boos, An Improved Synthesis of 3b-Acetoxy-lanost-8-en-24-one (24-Ketolanosteryl Acetate). Molecules 2000, 5, 114-117"

It has come to our attention that due to an error in the submission of manuscripts, a paper by Parish et al., (Molecules 2000, 5, 114-117) had already appeared in print elsewhere (Org. Prep. Proced. Int. 1999, 31, 702-704) and thus did not meet the conditions of not having been published elsewhere and not having been submitted for publication in other journals. Consequently, the Editorial Team of Molecules has decided to declare this paper “Withdrawn”. The authors and the editors wish to apologize for any confusion this may have caused.
