Chemical Structure

rac threo-9,10-Dihydroxystearic Acid CAS 2391-05-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of rac threo-9,10-Dihydroxystearic Acid 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.

rac threo-9,10-Dihydroxystearic Acid (CAS 2391-05-1), molecular formula C18H36O4 and molecular weight 316.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of rac threo-9,10-Dihydroxystearic Acid (C18H36O4) 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.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), rac threo-9,10-Dihydroxystearic Acid 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.
