Chemical Structure

17α-Methyl-6,7-dehydrotestosterone (1.0mg/ml in Acetonitrile) CAS 5585-85-3 chemical structure

Description

17α-Methyl-6,7-dehydrotestosterone (1.0mg/ml in Acetonitrile) (CAS 5585-85-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H28O2 and a molecular weight of 300.44 g/mol.

Structurally, 17α-Methyl-6,7-dehydrotestosterone (1.0mg/ml in Acetonitrile) (C20H28O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 300.44 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

CATO manufactures 17α-Methyl-6,7-dehydrotestosterone (1.0mg/ml in Acetonitrile) 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.
