Storage method
This product should be sealed and stored in a cool, dry place.
Synthesis method
1. It is obtained by hydrogenation of cholesterol both in vivo and in vitro. It can also be synthesized from fecal sterol. It is present in trace amounts with cholesterol in vertebrate cells and is abundant in nervous tissue and adrenal glands. Dihydrocholesterol in the body can come from external sources or can be synthesized by itself. It can be synthesized by all tissues, but mainly in the liver.
2.
First, remove the crude cholesterol (2) 100g (0.26mol) is recrystallized with 250mL glacial acetic acid. The pure product obtained does not need to be dried and is directly added to the hydrogenation device. Add 300mL glacial acetic acid and 0.5g platinum oxide. Hydrogenate at 65-75℃ under slight pressure. After about 2 hours, hydrogen gas is basically no longer absorbed. After slightly cooling, the reaction mixture was filtered, concentrated under reduced pressure, and crystallized to obtain 85-90 g of crude dihydrocholesterol (containing part of cholesteryl acetate). Add the crude product to 400 mL of ethanol, then mix it with a dilute alkali made of 25 g of potassium hydroxide and 100 mL of water, and react under reflux for 3 hours. Cool, filter, and wash with water. The filter cake was recrystallized with 500 mL of ethanol to obtain 75-80 g of dihydrocholesterol, mp 140-141°C, and a yield of 75%-80%. [1]
Purpose
