Chemical Structure

1-Octadecanol CAS 112-92-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 270.49 g/mol gives 1-Octadecanol distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

1-Octadecanol (CAS 112-92-5), molecular formula C18H38O and molecular weight 270.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1-Octadecanol (C18H38O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 270.49 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.

CATO manufactures 1-Octadecanol 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.
