Chemical Structure

5beta-Cholanic acid-3,7-dione methyl ester CAS 7753-72-2 chemical structure

Description

5beta-Cholanic acid-3,7-dione methyl ester (CAS 7753-72-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C25H38O4 and a molecular weight of 402.57 g/mol.

5beta-Cholanic acid-3,7-dione methyl ester (C25H38O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
