Chemical Structure

5beta-Cholanic Acid-3alpha,6beta-diol CAS 668-49-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 5beta-Cholanic Acid-3alpha,6beta-diol 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.

5beta-Cholanic Acid-3alpha,6beta-diol (CAS 668-49-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C24H40O4 and a molecular weight of 392.57 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 5beta-Cholanic Acid-3alpha,6beta-diol (C24H40O4) 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).

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.

CATO manufactures 5beta-Cholanic Acid-3alpha,6beta-diol 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.
