Description
Cholesteryl chloroformate is used in the preparation of hydrophobized chitosan oligosaccharide, which finds application as an efficient gene carrier. It acts as an initiator in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
Applications
Cholesteryl chloroformate is used in the preparation of hydrophobized chitosan oligosaccharide, which finds application as an efficient gene carrier. It acts as an initiator in the polymerization of methyl methacrylate.
Solubility
Soluble in methylene chloride, chloroform, acetone, toluene and benzene. Slightly soluble in methanol and ethanol.
Notes
Moisture sensitive. Incompatible with strong bases and strong oxidizing agents.
