Chemical Structure

5-Tridecylresorcinol CAS 5259-01-8 chemical structure

Description

5-Tridecylresorcinol (CAS 5259-01-8), molecular formula C19H32O2 and molecular weight 292.46 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C19H32O2, 5-Tridecylresorcinol contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 292.46 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

CATO manufactures 5-Tridecylresorcinol 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.
