Chemical Structure

L(+)-Norgestrel CAS 797-64-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 312.45 g/mol gives L(+)-Norgestrel distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

L(+)-Norgestrel (CAS 797-64-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H28O2 and a molecular weight of 312.45 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, L(+)-Norgestrel is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 312.45 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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 L(+)-Norgestrel 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.
