Title: Compound identification?
Post by: hi88999 on July 25, 2008, 02:54:49 PM

Can anyone here please identify these compounds below:

4-Chloro-17a-methyl-androst-1,4-diene-3,17-b-diol

...and...

2a,17a-dimethyl-etiocholan 3- one, 17b-ol

Are these compounds safe? Is there a CAS # for these compounds?

Thank you...
Darren

a) no CAS in SciFinder or Beilstein

b) [88979-44-6]

They're steroids.  They're probably going to have some bodily activity.  I would strongly recommend against ingesting them...
