Chemical Structure

rac 1-Lauroyl-3-chloropropanediol CAS 20542-96-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of rac 1-Lauroyl-3-chloropropanediol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

rac 1-Lauroyl-3-chloropropanediol (CAS 20542-96-5), molecular formula C15H29ClO3 and molecular weight 292.84 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, rac 1-Lauroyl-3-chloropropanediol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 292.84 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures rac 1-Lauroyl-3-chloropropanediol 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.
