Chemical Structure

(3α,5β)-3,17-Dihydroxypregnane-11,20-dione CAS 641-78-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (3α,5β)-3,17-Dihydroxypregnane-11,20-dione is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (3α,5β)-3,17-Dihydroxypregnane-11,20-dione (CAS 641-78-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C21H32O4, MW 348.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of (3α,5β)-3,17-Dihydroxypregnane-11,20-dione (C21H32O4) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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

CATO manufactures (3α,5β)-3,17-Dihydroxypregnane-11,20-dione 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.
