Chemical Structure

Methyl 16-hydroxyhexadecanoate CAS 36575-67-4 chemical structure

Description

Methyl 16-hydroxyhexadecanoate (CAS 36575-67-4), molecular formula C17H34O3 and molecular weight 286.45 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of Methyl 16-hydroxyhexadecanoate (C17H34O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Methyl 16-hydroxyhexadecanoate 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.
