| Cholesteryl acetate Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white fine crystalline powder or needles | | Uses | Cholesterol (C432501) derivative. Cholesterol is a major component of all biological membranes; ~25% of total brain lipid is Cholesterol. Cholesterol is the principal sterol of the higher animals. Cho
lesterol was found in all body tissues, especial in the brain, spinal cord, and in animal fats or oils. Cholesterol is the main constituent of gallstones. | | Uses | Cholesteryl acetate is used in cosmetics, wrist watches, thermometers, propane tank volume indicators, video displays, pharmaceuticals. | | Definition | ChEBI: A cholesterol ester obtained by formal acylation of the hydroxy group of cholesterol by acetic acid. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the acetate from n-pentanol or Me2CO. Also purify it by chromatography through silica gel and eluting with MeOH. [Beilstein 6 III 2607, 6 IV 4004.] |
