It is characterized by the presence of a hydroxyl group at the 5th carbon, a double bond between the 7th and 8th carbons, and acetate groups at the 3rd and 6th carbons. 5-hydroxy-5α-cholest-7-en-3β,6β-diol 3,6-diacetate is a diol, meaning it contains two hydroxyl groups, and the acetate groups are ester derivatives of the hydroxyl groups. It is a white crystalline solid and is used in the synthesis of various steroidal compounds and pharmaceuticals. The specific arrangement of functional groups and the stereochemistry at the 3β and 6β positions are crucial for its biological activity and chemical properties.
The CAS Registry Mumber 2551-05-5 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,5,5 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 5 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2551-05: (6*2)+(5*5)+(4*5)+(3*1)+(2*0)+(1*5)=65 65 % 10 = 5 So 2551-05-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
