Chemical Structure

Hexadecyl Sulfide CAS 3312-77-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Hexadecyl Sulfide is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Hexadecyl Sulfide (CAS 3312-77-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C32H66S and a molecular weight of 482.93 g/mol.

Hexadecyl Sulfide (C32H66S) contains sulfur-containing functionality. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; 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.

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

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
