3,5-Seco-A-norestran-3-oic Acid 17beta-Hydroxy-5-oxo-benzoate (CAS 122426-44-2), molecular formula C24H36O5 and molecular weight 404.54 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3,5-Seco-A-norestran-3-oic Acid 17beta-Hydroxy-5-oxo-benzoate is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 404.54 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
