Chemical Structure

5β-Pregnane-3β,20(S)-diol CAS 80-90-0 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 5β-Pregnane-3β,20(S)-diol is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 320.51 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).

5β-Pregnane-3β,20(S)-diol (CAS 80-90-0), molecular formula C21H36O2 and molecular weight 320.51 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

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.
