Chemical Structure

2-Lauroylglycerol CAS 1678-45-1 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-Lauroylglycerol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 274.40 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 supplies 2-Lauroylglycerol (CAS 1678-45-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H30O4, MW 274.40 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Lauroylglycerol 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.
