Chemical Structure

5α-PREGNAN-3α, 20α-DIOL DIACETATE CAS 6003-18-5 chemical structure

Description

5α-PREGNAN-3α, 20α-DIOL DIACETATE (C25H40O4) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

5α-PREGNAN-3α, 20α-DIOL DIACETATE (CAS 6003-18-5), molecular formula C25H40O4 and molecular weight 404.58 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
