Hexadecanoic Acid Impurity 1 CAS 55019-46-0 chemical structure

Description

Hexadecanoic Acid Impurity 1 (CAS 55019-46-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H34O and a molecular weight of 254.45 g/mol.

Structurally, Hexadecanoic Acid Impurity 1 (C17H34O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 254.45 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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hexadecanoic Acid Impurity 1 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.
