Chemical Structure

Isohexadecanol CAS 36311-34-9 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Isohexadecanol.

Isohexadecanol (CAS 36311-34-9) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H34O and a molecular weight of 242.44 g/mol.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Isohexadecanol is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.44 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Isohexadecanol 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.
