Chemical Structure

delta2-cis-Hexadecenoic Acid CAS 2825-68-5 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

delta2-cis-Hexadecenoic Acid (CAS 2825-68-5), molecular formula C16H30O2 and molecular weight 254.41 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of delta2-cis-Hexadecenoic Acid (C16H30O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

As a certified reference material (CRM), delta2-cis-Hexadecenoic 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.
