Chemical Structure

2-Octadecanol CAS 593-32-8 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C18H38O, 2-Octadecanol contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 270.49 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies 2-Octadecanol (CAS 593-32-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H38O, MW 270.49 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
