Chemical Structure

5-Tetradecyltetrahydrofuran-2-one CAS 502-26-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 282.46 g/mol gives 5-Tetradecyltetrahydrofuran-2-one distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

5-Tetradecyltetrahydrofuran-2-one (CAS 502-26-1), molecular formula C18H34O2 and molecular weight 282.46 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C18H34O2, 5-Tetradecyltetrahydrofuran-2-one contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 282.46 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), 5-Tetradecyltetrahydrofuran-2-one 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.
