Chemical Structure

15-Methylhexadecan-1-ol CAS 51166-20-2 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, 15-Methylhexadecan-1-ol (C17H36O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 0.0, corresponding to approximately 0 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 256.47 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.

15-Methylhexadecan-1-ol (CAS 51166-20-2) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H36O and a molecular weight of 256.47 g/mol.

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

As a certified reference material (CRM), 15-Methylhexadecan-1-ol 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.
