Cholesterol → HCID 86648143, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

A mixture of 100 mg of cholesterol and 40 mg of bromoacetic acid (1.1 eq) was dissolved in 10 mL of anhydrous dichloromethane. Then 44 μl (1.1 eq) of DIPC(N,N-diisopropylcarbodiimide) and 1.5 mg (0.05 eq) of DMAP (4-dimethylaminopyridine) were added. The solution was left stirring at room temperature for 48 h and analyzed by TLC using a mixture of n-hexane/EtOAc 10/1 as solvent systems. The solvent was evaporated and the reaction product was purified by silica gel flash chromatography in n-hexane/dichloromethane 1/1. The fractions containing the product were pooled, evaporated and then lyophilized in water/acetonitrile 20/80. The purified product was analyzed by NMR. Yield: 73%.
