N,N-Dimethylhexadecanamide CAS 3886-91-7 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures N,N-Dimethylhexadecanamide 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.

N,N-Dimethylhexadecanamide (CAS 3886-91-7) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H37NO and a molecular weight of 283.49 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, N,N-Dimethylhexadecanamide is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 283.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
