Chemical Structure

12-Methyltetradecanoic acid CAS 5502-94-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 12-Methyltetradecanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 242.40 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.

12-Methyltetradecanoic acid (CAS 5502-94-3) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C15H30O2 and a molecular weight of 242.40 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.

CATO manufactures 12-Methyltetradecanoic acid 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.
