2-Hydroxydodecanoic acid CAS 2984-55-6

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 216.32 g/mol gives 2-Hydroxydodecanoic acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

2-Hydroxydodecanoic acid (CAS 2984-55-6), molecular formula C12H24O3 and molecular weight 216.32 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

2-Hydroxydodecanoic acid (C12H24O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. It is notably hygroscopic, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures 2-Hydroxydodecanoic acid under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
