The occurrence of (3α,5α,17Z)-Pregn-17(20)-en-3-ol 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.
(3α,5α,17Z)-Pregn-17(20)-en-3-ol (CAS 68199-34-8), molecular formula C21H34O and molecular weight 302.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (3α,5α,17Z)-Pregn-17(20)-en-3-ol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 302.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).
