16-Methoxy-16-oxohexadecanoic acid CAS 18451-85-9

Description

The occurrence of 16-Methoxy-16-oxohexadecanoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

16-Methoxy-16-oxohexadecanoic acid (CAS 18451-85-9), molecular formula C17H32O4 and molecular weight 300.43 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 16-Methoxy-16-oxohexadecanoic acid (C17H32O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 300.43 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

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.

CATO manufactures 16-Methoxy-16-oxohexadecanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
