6,9,12-Hexadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ester CAS 1469746-36-8 chemical structure

Description

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

6,9,12-Hexadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ester (CAS 1469746-36-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H30O2 and a molecular weight of 278.43 g/mol.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 6,9,12-Hexadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ester is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 278.43 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures 6,9,12-Hexadecatrienoic acid, ethyl ester 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.
