The occurrence of 2-{2-[2-(Octadecyloxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}ethan-1-ol is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
2-{2-[2-(Octadecyloxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}ethan-1-ol (CAS 4439-32-1), molecular formula C24H50O4 and molecular weight 402.65 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2-{2-[2-(Octadecyloxy)ethoxy]ethoxy}ethan-1-ol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 402.65 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
