Chemical Structure

2-Ethylhexyl epoxystearate CAS 141-38-8 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 2-Ethylhexyl epoxystearate.

2-Ethylhexyl epoxystearate (CAS 141-38-8), molecular formula C26H50O3 and molecular weight 410.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C26H50O3, 2-Ethylhexyl epoxystearate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 410.67 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Ethylhexyl epoxystearate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
