Chemical Structure

1-Bromohexadecan-2-one CAS 21436-52-2 chemical structure

Description

1-Bromohexadecan-2-one (CAS 21436-52-2), molecular formula C16H31BrO and molecular weight 319.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, 1-Bromohexadecan-2-one (C16H31BrO) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 319.32 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

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.
