CAS 747-90-0: Cholesta-3,5-diene
Description:Cholesta-3,5-diene, with the CAS number 747-90-0, is a steroid compound characterized by its unsaturated structure, featuring double bonds at the 3 and 5 positions of the cholestane backbone. This compound is a derivative of cholesterol and is part of the broader class of sterols, which are vital components of cell membranes and precursors to various biological molecules. Cholesta-3,5-diene is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid, exhibiting hydrophobic properties due to its hydrocarbon nature. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, which is common for many sterols. The presence of double bonds contributes to its reactivity and potential biological activity, making it of interest in biochemical research and studies related to lipid metabolism. Additionally, it may play a role in the synthesis of other sterols and hormones. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety protocols to avoid exposure or environmental contamination.
