Chemical Structure

Heptadecan-7-one CAS 6064-42-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Heptadecan-7-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Heptadecan-7-one (CAS 6064-42-2), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H34O, MW 254.45 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Heptadecan-7-one is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 254.45 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
