Name Vitamin D3
CAS 67-97-0
EINECS(EC#) 200-673-2
Molecular Formula C27H44O
MDL Number MFCD00078131
Molecular Weight 384.64
MOL File 67-97-0.mol

Chemical Properties

Definition A free vitamin D 3, isolated in crystalline state from the 3,5-dinitrobenzoate, produced by irradiation, and equivalent in activity to vitamin D3 of tunaliver oil.
Appearance Crystalline
Melting point  83-86 °C(lit.)
alpha  105 º (c=0.8, EtOH 25 ºC)
Boiling point  451.27°C (rough estimate)
density  0.9717 (rough estimate)
vapor pressure  2.0 x l0-6 Pa (20 °C, est.)
refractive index  1.5100 (estimate)
Fp  14 °C
storage temp.  2-8°C
solubility  Practically insoluble in water, freely soluble in ethanol (96 per cent), soluble in trimethylpentane and in fatty oils. It is sensitive to air, heat and light. Solutions in solvents without an antioxidant are unstable and are to be used immediately. A reversible isomerisation to pre-cholecalciferol takes place in solution, depending on temperature and time. The activity is due to both compounds.
