Chemical Structure

N-Heptacosane CAS 593-49-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-Heptacosane is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies N-Heptacosane (CAS 593-49-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C27H56, MW 380.73 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C27H56, N-Heptacosane contains an organic framework; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 380.73 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.

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.
