Chemical Structure

4-Hydroxy Estrone CAS 3131-23-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Hydroxy Estrone 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.

4-Hydroxy Estrone (CAS 3131-23-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H22O3 and a molecular weight of 286.37 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H22O3, 4-Hydroxy Estrone contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 286.37 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), 4-Hydroxy Estrone 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.
