Chemical Structure

3-(Hexadecyloxy)propan-1-ol CAS 23377-40-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-(Hexadecyloxy)propan-1-ol 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.

3-(Hexadecyloxy)propan-1-ol (CAS 23377-40-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C19H40O2 and a molecular weight of 300.52 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C19H40O2, 3-(Hexadecyloxy)propan-1-ol contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 300.52 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 3-(Hexadecyloxy)propan-1-ol meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
