Methyl phytanate CAS 1118-77-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methyl phytanate 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.

Methyl phytanate (CAS 1118-77-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H42O2 and a molecular weight of 326.56 g/mol.

Structurally, Methyl phytanate (C21H42O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 326.56 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
