Description

Cholesterol 2,4-Dichlorobenzoate (CDCB) is a crystalline solid that forms the polymorphs of monoclinic, orthorhombic, and hexagonal. This compound has been traditionally used as a food additive in many commercial products to improve flavor and stability. The membranes of bacteria are composed of cholesterol 2,4-dichlorobenzoate. The nature of the compound is such that it can exist as two different conformers: the trans conformer with the chloro group on one side and the benzoate on the other or the cis conformer with both chloro groups on one side. The monoclinic form has two conformational isomers: propionate and acetate. These isomers are not distinguishable by X-ray diffraction but can be distinguished by infrared spectroscopy.
