Chemical Structure
Description
Structurally, 16-Methyl-16-dehydropregnenolone (C22H32O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 328.49 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
16-Methyl-16-dehydropregnenolone (CAS 1808-63-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C22H32O2 and a molecular weight of 328.49 g/mol.
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.
