Chemical Structure

Tetracontyl palmitate CAS 120784-87-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 817.49 g/mol gives Tetracontyl palmitate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Tetracontyl palmitate (CAS 120784-87-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C56H112O2, MW 817.49 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Tetracontyl palmitate is typically white to off-white amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 817.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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), Tetracontyl palmitate 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.
