Chemical Structure

N-Hexadecylacetamide CAS 14303-96-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-Hexadecylacetamide is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

N-Hexadecylacetamide (CAS 14303-96-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H37NO and a molecular weight of 283.49 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, N-Hexadecylacetamide is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 283.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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