This compound is a synthetic steroid intermediate, chemically defined as (17α)-3,3-[1,2-Ethanediylbis(oxy)]-17-hydroxy-19-norpregna-5(10),9(11)-diene-21-nitrile. It features a noresteroid backbone with an ethylene ketal protecting group and a nitrile moiety, primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical synthesis of potent progestins. The molecular formula is C24H28O4N.
Store under inert atmosphere at controlled temperatures below 25°C to prevent hydrolysis of the ketal group. Handle with appropriate PPE due to potential endocrine disruption; avoid inhalation or skin contact during industrial processing.
