Sodium Cholate Methanolate and Sodium Cholate 2-Propanolate

The crystal structures of sodium cholate methanolate (sodium 3α,7α,12α-trihdroxy-5β-cholan-24-oate methanol solvate, Na⁺.C₂₄H₃₉O₅⁻.CH₄O) recrystallized from absolute methanol by diffusion of acetone, and sodium cholate 2-propanolate (sodium 3α,7α,12α-trihdroxy-5β-cholan-24-oate 2-propanol solvate, Na⁺.C₂₄H₃₉O₅⁻.C₃H₈O), recrystallized from 2-propanol by diffusion of acetone, have been determined. These are the second and third reported sodium cholate structures solely solvated by an organic molecule.
