Chemical Structure

Cholest-8(14)-ene CAS 54725-42-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Cholest-8(14)-ene is closely related to an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Cholest-8(14)-ene (CAS 54725-42-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C27H46 and a molecular weight of 370.65 g/mol.

Structurally, Cholest-8(14)-ene (C27H46) contains an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 370.65 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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 Cholest-8(14)-ene 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.
