Chemical Structure

cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic Acid CAS 6217-54-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic Acid is closely related to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic Acid (CAS 6217-54-5), molecular formula C22H32O2 and molecular weight 328.49 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-Docosahexaenoic Acid is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 328.49 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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