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 inte...

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 su...

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 electr...
