Chemical Structure

(E)-2-Hexadecen-1-ol CAS 26993-32-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (E)-2-Hexadecen-1-ol is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(E)-2-Hexadecen-1-ol (CAS 26993-32-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H32O and a molecular weight of 240.42 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H32O, (E)-2-Hexadecen-1-ol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 240.42 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.

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), (E)-2-Hexadecen-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.
