4-(Hexadecyloxy)-4-oxobutanoic acid CAS 50893-80-6 chemical structure

Description

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

4-(Hexadecyloxy)-4-oxobutanoic acid (CAS 50893-80-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H37O4 and a molecular weight of 341.51 g/mol.

4-(Hexadecyloxy)-4-oxobutanoic acid (C20H37O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
