Chemical Structure

5α-Androst-9(11)-ene-3,17-dione CAS 15375-19-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5α-Androst-9(11)-ene-3,17-dione 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.

5α-Androst-9(11)-ene-3,17-dione (CAS 15375-19-6), molecular formula C19H26O2 and molecular weight 286.41 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

5α-Androst-9(11)-ene-3,17-dione (C19H26O2) 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5α-Androst-9(11)-ene-3,17-dione meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
