Chemical Structure

1-(Hexadecyloxy)-4-methylbenzene CAS 57792-42-4 chemical structure

Description

1-(Hexadecyloxy)-4-methylbenzene (CAS 57792-42-4), molecular formula C14H20Br2N2O2 and molecular weight 408.13 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C14H20Br2N2O2, 1-(Hexadecyloxy)-4-methylbenzene contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 408.13 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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 1-(Hexadecyloxy)-4-methylbenzene 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.
