Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of 3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic Acid Methyl Ester is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic Acid Methyl Ester (CAS 51883-36-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H34O3 and a molecular weight of 286.45 g/mol.
3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic Acid Methyl Ester (C17H34O3) 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
CATO manufactures 3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic Acid Methyl Ester under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
