Chemical Structure

3,12-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic Acid CAS 66675-73-8 chemical structure

Description

3,12-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic Acid (CAS 66675-73-8) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H32O4 and a molecular weight of 288.42 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3,12-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic Acid (C16H32O4) 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.

CATO manufactures 3,12-Dihydroxyhexadecanoic Acid 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.
