Cholesteryl chloroformate is primarily employed in the derivatization of cholesterol for drug delivery systems, liposome formulations, and biomaterial coatings. It facilitates the synthesis of cholesterol-based prodrugs and steroidal conjugates for targeted therapeutic applications. Researchers also utilize it as a crosslinking agent in polymer chemistry and as a protective group in multistep organic syntheses.
