Chemical Structure

3a-Hydroxy-4-estren-17-one CAS 65336-99-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3a-Hydroxy-4-estren-17-one 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.

3a-Hydroxy-4-estren-17-one (CAS 65336-99-4), molecular formula C18H26O2 and molecular weight 274.40 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 3a-Hydroxy-4-estren-17-one (C18H26O2) 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 presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
