Chemical Structure

Methyl 7α-Hydroxy-3-ketocholanoate CAS 14773-00-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

Methyl 7α-Hydroxy-3-ketocholanoate (CAS 14773-00-3), molecular formula C25H40O4 and molecular weight 404.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 7α-Hydroxy-3-ketocholanoate (C25H40O4) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 404.58 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
