Chemical Structure

6-Methylheptyl palmitate CAS 1341-38-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 6-Methylheptyl palmitate is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

6-Methylheptyl palmitate (CAS 1341-38-4), molecular formula C24H48O2 and molecular weight 368.64 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6-Methylheptyl palmitate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 368.64 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.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 6-Methylheptyl palmitate 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.
