Chemical Structure

N-Hexadecanoyl-alanine CAS 56255-31-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including N-Hexadecanoyl-alanine.

N-Hexadecanoyl-alanine (CAS 56255-31-3), molecular formula C19H37NO3 and molecular weight 327.50 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C19H37NO3, N-Hexadecanoyl-alanine contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 327.50 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), N-Hexadecanoyl-alanine 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.
