Description
Cholesteryl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate (CAS 32832-01-2, EC 251-248-3) is a cholesterol ester formed by esterification of cholesterol with 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid. Also referenced as cholesteryl dichlorobenzoate or cholesteroldichlorobenzoate, it carries no assigned E-code and belongs to the pharmaceutical intermediates category with molecular formula C34H48Cl2O2.
This compound serves as a reference standard and synthetic intermediate in pharmaceutical and biotechnology research, where its defined cholesterol ester structure enables characterisation of lipid metabolism pathways and enzyme activity assays. It is also employed in liquid crystal research as a mesogenic material, exploiting the rigid sterol backbone to induce ordered phase behaviour in formulation studies.
Cholesteryl 2,4-dichlorobenzoate is supplied as a powder and is subject to REACH registration requirements for quantities handled within the EU. Procurement teams should confirm purity grade specifications and certificate of analysis documentation with the supplier prior to ordering, as no compendial Ph.Eur. or FCC monograph currently applies.
