Chemical Structure

Hexanoic acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester CAS 16397-75-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Hexanoic acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester (CAS 16397-75-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C11H18FN2O12P3, MW 482.19 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Hexanoic acid, 2-ethylhexyl ester (C11H18FN2O12P3) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a phosphate ester group, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
