Chemical Structure
Description
Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 358.56 g/mol gives 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl 16-methylheptadecanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2,3-Dihydroxypropyl 16-methylheptadecanoate (CAS 50486-18-5) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C21H42O4 and a molecular weight of 358.56 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 2,3-Dihydroxypropyl 16-methylheptadecanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 358.56 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.
