Chemical Structure

12-Hydroxystearic Acid CAS 106-14-9 chemical structure

Description

12-Hydroxystearic Acid (CAS 106-14-9), molecular formula C18H36O3 and molecular weight 300.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C18H36O3, 12-Hydroxystearic Acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 300.48 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.

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.

CATO manufactures 12-Hydroxystearic Acid 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.
