Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of (S,4Z,6E,10Z)-8-Hydroxyhexadeca-4,6,10-trienoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
(S,4Z,6E,10Z)-8-Hydroxyhexadeca-4,6,10-trienoic acid (CAS 121842-79-3), molecular formula C16H26O3 and molecular weight 266.38 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, (S,4Z,6E,10Z)-8-Hydroxyhexadeca-4,6,10-trienoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.38 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
