Chemical Structure

Methyl 14-Methylhexadecanoate CAS 2490-49-5 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl 14-Methylhexadecanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 284.48 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.

Methyl 14-Methylhexadecanoate (CAS 2490-49-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H36O2 and a molecular weight of 284.48 g/mol.

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), Methyl 14-Methylhexadecanoate 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.
