Chemical Structure

5-ANDROSTEN-3β-OL-16, 17-DIONE CAS 571-05-1 chemical structure

Description

5-ANDROSTEN-3β-OL-16, 17-DIONE (CAS 571-05-1), molecular formula C19H26O3 and molecular weight 302.41 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5-ANDROSTEN-3β-OL-16, 17-DIONE is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 302.41 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 5-ANDROSTEN-3β-OL-16, 17-DIONE 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.
