Chemical Structure

(Z)-10-Hydroxyoctadec-12-enoic acid CAS 34932-12-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (Z)-10-Hydroxyoctadec-12-enoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies (Z)-10-Hydroxyoctadec-12-enoic acid (CAS 34932-12-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H34O3, MW 298.46 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

(Z)-10-Hydroxyoctadec-12-enoic acid (C18H34O3) contains 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.

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.

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.
