Cholesteryl chloride

Description:
Cholesteryl chloride is an organic compound derived from cholesterol, characterized by the presence of a chloride substituent at the 3-position of the steroid structure. It is a white to off-white crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as chloroform and ethanol. The molecular formula of cholesteryl chloride is C27H47ClO, and it has a molecular weight that reflects its complex steroidal structure. This compound is primarily used in biochemical research and as a reagent in organic synthesis, particularly in the study of lipid metabolism and membrane dynamics. Cholesteryl chloride can undergo hydrolysis to form cholesteryl alcohol and hydrochloric acid, and it is sensitive to moisture, which can lead to degradation. Due to its structural similarity to cholesterol, it can interact with biological membranes, making it a useful tool for studying lipid interactions and cellular processes. Safety precautions should be taken when handling cholesteryl chloride, as it may pose health risks if inhaled or ingested.
