Description: Cholesteryl chloride belongs to pharmaceutical intermediates and is also an organic chemical raw material.Cholesteryl chloridecan be used as an intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research and development, suitable for laboratory organic synthesis and chemical pharmaceutical synthesis. Cholesteryl chloride, also called 3-chlorocholest-5-ene or 3β-chlorocholest-5-ene, is an organic chemical, an organochloride derivate cholesterol. 

CHOLESTERYLBETA-CHLORIDE is a liquid crystal material forming clockwise cholesteric liquid crystals. It is a transparent liquid, or a soft crystalline material with melting point around 94-96 °C. 5-CHOLESTEN-3-BETA-OL CHLORIDE can be used with cholesteryl nonanoate, cholesteryl benzoate, and/or cholesteryl oleyl carbonate in some thermochromic liquid crystals.

It is used in some hair colors, make-ups, and some other cosmetic preparations. 

It can be also used as a component of the liquid crystals used for liquid crystal displays.
