Chemical Structure

(7E, 10E)-7,10-Hexadecadienoic Acid Methyl Ester CAS 16106-03-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies (7E, 10E)-7,10-Hexadecadienoic Acid Methyl Ester (CAS 16106-03-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H30O2, MW 266.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, (7E, 10E)-7,10-Hexadecadienoic Acid Methyl Ester (C17H30O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 266.42 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.

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.
