Chemical Structure

5α-CHOLESTAN-3, 6-DIONE CAS 2243-09-6 chemical structure

Description

5α-CHOLESTAN-3, 6-DIONE (C27H44O2) 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 high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

5α-CHOLESTAN-3, 6-DIONE (CAS 2243-09-6), molecular formula C27H44O2 and molecular weight 400.64 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.
