Chemical Structure

Hexadecyl isothiocyanate CAS 4426-87-3 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C17H33NS, Hexadecyl isothiocyanate contains a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 283.52 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.

Hexadecyl isothiocyanate (CAS 4426-87-3), molecular formula C17H33NS and molecular weight 283.52 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hexadecyl isothiocyanate 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.
