Chemical Structure

18-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid CAS 3155-42-8 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.

18-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid (CAS 3155-42-8), molecular formula C18H36O3 and molecular weight 300.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C18H36O3, 18-Hydroxyoctadecanoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 300.48 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 18-Hydroxyoctadecanoic 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.
