Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 424.70 g/mol gives beta-Amyrenone distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
beta-Amyrenone (CAS 638-97-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C30H48O and a molecular weight of 424.70 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, beta-Amyrenone is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 424.70 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.
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.
