Octadecyl 3-mercaptopropanoate CAS 31778-15-1 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.

Octadecyl 3-mercaptopropanoate (CAS 31778-15-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H42O2S and a molecular weight of 358.62 g/mol.

Octadecyl 3-mercaptopropanoate (C21H42O2S) contains a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. 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.

CATO manufactures Octadecyl 3-mercaptopropanoate 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.
