Chemical Structure

5β-ANDROSTAN-3-ONE CAS 18069-68-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 5β-ANDROSTAN-3-ONE.

5β-ANDROSTAN-3-ONE (CAS 18069-68-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C19H30O and a molecular weight of 274.44 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5β-ANDROSTAN-3-ONE is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 274.44 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).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5β-ANDROSTAN-3-ONE 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.
