Chemical identity of 5α‐cholestane‐3β,5,6β‐triol (C‐Triol) as a trimethylsilyl (TMS) ether derivative was studied using gas chromatography (GC), mass spectrometry (MS), and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The derivatization mixture, held at 23°C for 30 and 300 min, showed only a single peak (B) by GC. When the mixture was heated at 70°C for a few hours, another peak (A) emerged ahead of peak (B). GC‐MS analysis revealed that the GC peaks (A) and (B) are C‐Triol as tris ‐ and bis ‐TMS ether derivatives, respectively. NMR analysis suggested that the hydroxyl groups at C 3 and C 6 of C‐Triol were involved in the formation of the bis ‐TMS ether.
