CAS 7753-72-2
:5-beta-cholanic acid 3,7-dione*methyl ester
Description:
5-beta-Cholanic acid 3,7-dione methyl ester, with the CAS number 7753-72-2, is a steroid derivative characterized by its specific structural features, including a cholane backbone with keto groups at the 3 and 7 positions and a methyl ester functional group. This compound typically exhibits a solid state at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and chloroform, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic steroid structure. The presence of the keto groups contributes to its reactivity, allowing for potential transformations in organic synthesis. As a derivative of cholesterol, it may play a role in biochemical pathways or serve as a precursor in the synthesis of other steroid compounds. Its biological activity can be influenced by the stereochemistry of the molecule, which is crucial for interactions with biological receptors. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken during use.
