Chemical Structure

4-Methyloctadecane CAS 10544-95-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 4-Methyloctadecane is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

4-Methyloctadecane (CAS 10544-95-3), molecular formula C19H40 and molecular weight 268.52 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C19H40, 4-Methyloctadecane contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 268.52 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 4-Methyloctadecane meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
