Chemical Structure

4-Acetoxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione CAS 61630-32-8 chemical structure

Description

4-Acetoxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione (C21H28O4) contains a flavonoid 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.
