Chemical Structure

Cis-12,13-Epoxy-9(Z)-octadecenoic acid CAS 503-07-1 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, Cis-12,13-Epoxy-9(Z)-octadecenoic acid (C18H32O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 296.44 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies Cis-12,13-Epoxy-9(Z)-octadecenoic acid (CAS 503-07-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H32O3, MW 296.44 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
