CATO supplies Octadecanoic acid, 12-hydroxy-, polymer with methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and 2-oxiranylmethyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate (CAS 26656-99-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H36O3C7H10O3C5H8O2, MW 542.75 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
Structurally, Octadecanoic acid, 12-hydroxy-, polymer with methyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate and 2-oxiranylmethyl 2-methyl-2-propenoate (C18H36O3C7H10O3C5H8O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 542.75 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
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.
