Chemical Structure

Trimethylsilyl stearate CAS 18748-91-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Trimethylsilyl stearate 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.

Trimethylsilyl stearate (CAS 18748-91-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H44O2Si and a molecular weight of 356.66 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Trimethylsilyl stearate (C21H44O2Si) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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 Trimethylsilyl stearate 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.
