Theoretical mechanism of the formation of cholesteryl chloride from cholesterol and thionyl chloride.

J. Mol. Model. 11(2) , 135-40, (2005)

This work describes a theoretical approach to the substitution reaction mechanism involving the conversion of cholesterol to cholesteryl chloride. Two chlorosulfite ester molecules were formed as intermediates. An iso-steroid was found as the transition state...

Microscopic vs. macroscopic origin of the Lehmann effect in cholesteric liquid crystals.

Eur. Phys. J. E 35(2) , 10, (2012)

In a recent letter (EPL 97, 36006 (2012)), we have shown that the Leslie thermomechanical coupling cannot alone explain the Lehmann effect (namely the rotation of cholesteric droplets when they are subjected to a temperature gradient). This result was obtaine...

Electrochemical bromination of cholest-5-enes.

Steroids 70(13) , 867-72, (2005)

Four 5,6-unsaturated steroids--3beta-chlorocholest-5-ene (1a), cholesterol (1b) and its acetate (1c) and benzoate (1d)-were subjected to constant current electrolysis (50 mA, 2 F mol(-1)) in an electrolytic cell divided by a ceramic membrane, using a platinum...

Studies on intestinal absorption, distribution and metabolism of 3 beta-chloro[4-14C]cholest-5-ene and 3 beta-chloro[4-14C]stigmast-5-ene in mice.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 27(4) , 259-63, (1989)

A method for the analysis of 3 beta-chloro steroids by high-performance liquid chromatography is described. These compounds are known to occur in commercial protein hydrolysates. The gastro-intestinal absorption, distribution and metabolism of chlorinated ste...

3 beta-Chlorosteroids: artefacts and possible contaminants in food and feed--toxicological effects in mice.

Food Chem. Toxicol. 32(4) , 297-303, (1994)

3 beta-Chlorosteroids, such as cholesteryl beta-chloride and sitosteryl beta-chloride, are formed during the production of protein hydrolysates, which are useful flavour enhancers. These chlorinated steroids may also attract attention as environmental contami...
