Chemical Structure

Octadecyl heptanoate CAS 66009-41-4 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Octadecyl heptanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 382.66 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.

Octadecyl heptanoate (CAS 66009-41-4), molecular formula C25H50O2 and molecular weight 382.66 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

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.

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.
