Chemical Structure

3-Methylpentadecane CAS 2882-96-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Methylpentadecane is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Methylpentadecane (CAS 2882-96-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H34 and a molecular weight of 226.44 g/mol.

Structurally, 3-Methylpentadecane (C16H34) contains an organic framework. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 226.44 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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), 3-Methylpentadecane 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.
