Chemical Structure

Hexadecanenitrile CAS 629-79-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Hexadecanenitrile is closely related to a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Hexadecanenitrile (CAS 629-79-8), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H31N, MW 237.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C16H31N, Hexadecanenitrile contains a nitrile group; these features give the compound characteristic molecular-ion distribution patterns in mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of 237.42 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.

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.

CATO manufactures Hexadecanenitrile under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
