Chemical Structure

2-Methyloctadecane CAS 1560-88-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 268.52 g/mol gives 2-Methyloctadecane distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies 2-Methyloctadecane (CAS 1560-88-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C19H40, MW 268.52 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, 2-Methyloctadecane (C19H40) contains an organic framework. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 268.52 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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-Methyloctadecane 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.
