Chemical Structure

(3b)​-4,​4-​Dimethyl-​cholesta-​5,​7-​dien-​3-​ol CAS 53296-71-2 chemical structure

Description

(3b)​-4,​4-​Dimethyl-​cholesta-​5,​7-​dien-​3-​ol (CAS 53296-71-2), molecular formula C29H48O and molecular weight 412.69 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (3b)​-4,​4-​Dimethyl-​cholesta-​5,​7-​dien-​3-​ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 412.69 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
