Description

5918-29-6 14-Methylhexadecanoic acid Hexadecanoic acid, 14-methyl- 14-Methylpalmitic acid (C17H34O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

5918-29-6 14-Methylhexadecanoic acid Hexadecanoic acid, 14-methyl- 14-Methylpalmitic acid (CAS 5918-29-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C17H34O2 and a molecular weight of 270.45 g/mol.

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.
