Chemical Structure

Octadeca-5,7-diynoic acid CAS 136667-54-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Octadeca-5,7-diynoic acid is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Octadeca-5,7-diynoic acid (CAS 136667-54-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H28O2 and a molecular weight of 276.41 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Octadeca-5,7-diynoic acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 276.41 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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 Octadeca-5,7-diynoic acid 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.
