Chemical Structure

Isobutyl Laurate CAS 37811-72-6 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C16H32O2, Isobutyl Laurate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 256.42 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

Isobutyl Laurate (CAS 37811-72-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H32O2 and a molecular weight of 256.42 g/mol.

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.
