Hexadecanoic Acid Ethyl Ester CAS 628-97-7

Description

The occurrence of Hexadecanoic Acid Ethyl Ester is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Hexadecanoic Acid Ethyl Ester (CAS 628-97-7), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H36O2, MW 284.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Hexadecanoic Acid Ethyl Ester (C18H36O2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Hexadecanoic Acid Ethyl Ester meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
