Thermal transitions and structural properties of synthetic cholesterol alkyl and alkenyl ethers: analogues of biological cholesterol esters.
Nine even-numbered saturated (C4 to C20) and two unsaturated (C18:1, C18:2) cholesterol alkyl ethers were studied by differential scanning calorimetry, polarizing microscopy, and X-ray powder diffraction. Seven of the nine saturated ethers examined melt into stable liquid crystal mesophases. Mesopha...
