Chemical Structure

Methyl 2-fluorohexadecanoate CAS 137676-82-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 288.44 g/mol gives Methyl 2-fluorohexadecanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Methyl 2-fluorohexadecanoate (CAS 137676-82-5), molecular formula C17H33FO2 and molecular weight 288.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Methyl 2-fluorohexadecanoate (C17H33FO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 288.44 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

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.
