Chemical Structure

(7α,17β)-3-Methoxy-7-methyl-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-ol CAS 15506-01-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (7α,17β)-3-Methoxy-7-methyl-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 300.44 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).

(7α,17β)-3-Methoxy-7-methyl-estra-1,3,5(10)-trien-17-ol (CAS 15506-01-1), molecular formula C20H28O2 and molecular weight 300.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
