Chemical Structure

Perfluoro-6-methylheptanoic Acid CAS 15166-06-0 chemical structure

Description

Perfluoro-6-methylheptanoic Acid (CAS 15166-06-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C8HF15O2 and a molecular weight of 414.07 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Perfluoro-6-methylheptanoic Acid (C8HF15O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
