Chemical Structure

N-(n-hexadecyl)formamide CAS 53396-33-1 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), N-(n-hexadecyl)formamide 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.

N-(n-hexadecyl)formamide (CAS 53396-33-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H35NO and a molecular weight of 269.47 g/mol.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, N-(n-hexadecyl)formamide is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 269.47 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.
