Chemical Structure

1-Hexadecyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride hydrate CAS 404001-62-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, 1-Hexadecyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride hydrate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 361.01 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.

1-Hexadecyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride hydrate (CAS 404001-62-3), molecular formula C20H39N2ClH2O and molecular weight 361.01 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

CATO manufactures 1-Hexadecyl-3-methyl-1H-imidazol-3-ium chloride hydrate 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.
