(17β)-17-Hydroxy-17-methyl-estra-5(10),9(11)-dien-3-one Cyclic 1,2-Ethanediyl Acetal CAS 54690-62-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (17β)-17-Hydroxy-17-methyl-estra-5(10),9(11)-dien-3-one Cyclic 1,2-Ethanediyl Acetal 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 (17β)-17-Hydroxy-17-methyl-estra-5(10),9(11)-dien-3-one Cyclic 1,2-Ethanediyl Acetal (CAS 54690-62-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H30O3, MW 330.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (17β)-17-Hydroxy-17-methyl-estra-5(10),9(11)-dien-3-one Cyclic 1,2-Ethanediyl Acetal is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 330.46 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (17β)-17-Hydroxy-17-methyl-estra-5(10),9(11)-dien-3-one Cyclic 1,2-Ethanediyl Acetal 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.
