Chemical Structure

(2E)-2-Hexadecenoic Acid Ethyl Ester CAS 135251-95-5 chemical structure

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

CATO supplies (2E)-2-Hexadecenoic Acid Ethyl Ester (CAS 135251-95-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H34O2, MW 282.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(2E)-2-Hexadecenoic Acid Ethyl Ester (C18H34O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.
