Chemical Structure

4-Androstene-3,17-dione D8 CAS 4273-45-4 chemical structure

Description

4-Androstene-3,17-dione D8 (C19H18D8O2) contains deuterium isotope labeling, 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.

4-Androstene-3,17-dione D8 (CAS 4273-45-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C19H18D8O2 and a molecular weight of 294.46 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.

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.
