Chemical Structure

(3 β)-3-Hydroxypregna-5,14,16-trien-20-one CAS 5186-13-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (3 β)-3-Hydroxypregna-5,14,16-trien-20-one 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.

CATO supplies (3 β)-3-Hydroxypregna-5,14,16-trien-20-one (CAS 5186-13-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H28O2, MW 312.45 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (3 β)-3-Hydroxypregna-5,14,16-trien-20-one (C21H28O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

CATO manufactures (3 β)-3-Hydroxypregna-5,14,16-trien-20-one under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
