A series of new derivatives of cholesterol bearing polar functional groups on carbon-19 were synthesized, including 19-oximino-, 19-amino-, 19- (methylimino)-, 19-(methylamino)-, 19-mercapto-, and 19-(methylthio) cholesterol, and 3β-hydroxycholest-5-en-19-oic acid, as well as an unusual cyclosterol, 5,19-cyclocholest-6-en-3β-ol.
Aliphatic Liquid Crystals, 6 - Cholesteric 19-Norcholesteryl Esters

19-Norcholesterol (6a) was prepared on a known route and esterified with 14 aliphatic and 3 aromatic acids.The aliphatic esters 6c - p and the anisate 6r exhibit cholesteric phases broader than those of the corresponding cholesteryl esters.This effect is caused by a lowering of the melting points which is explained with a less stable packing of the crystal lattices.
