27-Deoxyactein(CAS: 264624-38-6)

27-Deoxyactein is a white crystalline powder with a molecular weight of approximately 318.3 g/mol. It is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents like methanol and ethanol. Chemically, it is stable under acidic conditions but can react with bases.

27-Deoxyactein is typically synthesized via the reduction of actein with sodium borohydride. The reaction yields a high selectivity for the deoxy product with a good overall yield. Detailed synthesis protocols can be found in the literature.

27-Deoxyactein finds applications in the pharmaceutical industry as a potential drug candidate. It is also used in the sensor industry due to its reactivity with certain analytes.

When handling 27-Deoxyactein, it is important to use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and safety glasses. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In case of spill, use appropriate spill kits and handle according to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
