Chemical Structure

1-Chloroeicosane CAS 42217-02-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 1-Chloroeicosane is closely related to chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

1-Chloroeicosane (CAS 42217-02-7), molecular formula C20H41Cl and molecular weight 316.99 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C20H41Cl, 1-Chloroeicosane contains chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 316.99 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1-Chloroeicosane 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.
