Chemical Structure

(3S,4R,6aR,6bS,8R,8aS,14aR,14bS)-4,8a-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-4,6a,6b,11,11,14b-hexamethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,6a,6b,7,8,8a,9,10,11,12,14a,14b-octadecahydropicene-3,8-diol CAS 5573-16-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (3S,4R,6aR,6bS,8R,8aS,14aR,14bS)-4,8a-Bis(hydroxymethyl)-4,6a,6b,11,11,14b-hexamethyl-1,2,3,4,4a,5,6,6a,6b,7,8,8a,9,10,11,12,14a,14b-octadecahydropicene-3,8-diol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 472.70 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).
