Chemical Structure

2-Bromooctadecanoic acid CAS 142-94-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures 2-Bromooctadecanoic 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.

2-Bromooctadecanoic acid (CAS 142-94-9), molecular formula C18H35BrO2 and molecular weight 363.37 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, 2-Bromooctadecanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 363.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
