Chemical Structure

Betamethasone 21-Acetate CAS 987-24-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 434.50 g/mol gives Betamethasone 21-Acetate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Betamethasone 21-Acetate (CAS 987-24-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C24H31FO6 and a molecular weight of 434.50 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C24H31FO6, Betamethasone 21-Acetate contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 434.50 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

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.
