Chemical Structure

3-Methylheptadecane CAS 6418-44-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Methylheptadecane is closely related to an organic framework in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 3-Methylheptadecane (CAS 6418-44-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H38, MW 254.49 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

3-Methylheptadecane (C18H38) contains an organic framework. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), 3-Methylheptadecane 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.
