Chemical Structure

20β-Dihydro Pregnenolone CAS 901-57-5 chemical structure

Description

20β-Dihydro Pregnenolone (CAS 901-57-5), molecular formula C21H34O2 and molecular weight 318.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 20β-Dihydro Pregnenolone (C21H34O2) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 318.49 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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).

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures 20β-Dihydro Pregnenolone 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.
