Chemical Structure

18-Aminooctadecanoic acid CAS 17437-24-0 chemical structure

Description

18-Aminooctadecanoic acid (CAS 17437-24-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H37NO2 and a molecular weight of 299.49 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C18H37NO2, 18-Aminooctadecanoic acid contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 299.49 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.
