Chemical Structure

Trihexadecenoin CAS 20246-55-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Trihexadecenoin is typically off-white to pale yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 801.27 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Trihexadecenoin (CAS 20246-55-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C51H92O6 and a molecular weight of 801.27 g/mol.

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.
