The occurrence of Estradiol 17-Desoxy Impurity 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.
Estradiol 17-Desoxy Impurity (CAS 53-63-4), molecular formula C18H24O and molecular weight 256.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Estradiol 17-Desoxy Impurity is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 256.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
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.
