Chemical Structure

γ-Linolenyl Alcohol CAS 24149-05-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies γ-Linolenyl Alcohol (CAS 24149-05-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H32O, MW 264.45 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, γ-Linolenyl Alcohol is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 264.45 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), γ-Linolenyl Alcohol 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.
