Chemical Structure

18-Methyl Ethynyl Estradiol CAS 14012-72-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 18-Methyl Ethynyl Estradiol is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

18-Methyl Ethynyl Estradiol (CAS 14012-72-7), molecular formula C21H26O2 and molecular weight 310.43 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

18-Methyl Ethynyl Estradiol (C21H26O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 18-Methyl Ethynyl Estradiol under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
