Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 370.61 g/mol gives 2-Hydroxytricosanoic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-Hydroxytricosanoic Acid (CAS 2718-37-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C23H46O3 and a molecular weight of 370.61 g/mol.
Structurally, 2-Hydroxytricosanoic Acid (C23H46O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 370.61 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.
As a certified reference material (CRM), 2-Hydroxytricosanoic 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.
