Separation of cholesterol‐desmosterol acetates by thin‐layer and column chromatography on silica gel G‐silver nitrate

A chromatographic method, using columns packed with Celite‐Silica Gel G impregnated with silver nitrate, has been developed for the separation of cholesterol from desmosterol (24‐dehydrocholesterol). The system employed allows a complete separation of the two sterols as acetates, as determined by ga...

Zusammenfassung:A chromatographic method, using columns packed with Celite‐Silica Gel G impregnated with silver nitrate, has been developed for the separation of cholesterol from desmosterol (24‐dehydrocholesterol). The system employed allows a complete separation of the two sterols as acetates, as determined by gas‐liquid chromatography and thin‐layer chromatography. The recovery of pure cholesterol and desmosterol is quantitative.
