Lauric Acid-N-Butyl Ester CAS 106-18-3 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Lauric Acid-N-Butyl Ester 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.

CATO supplies Lauric Acid-N-Butyl Ester (CAS 106-18-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H32O2, MW 256.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C16H32O2, Lauric Acid-N-Butyl Ester 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 256.42 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.
