Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 452.80 g/mol gives 2-Tetradecylhexadecanoic Acid distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
2-Tetradecylhexadecanoic Acid (CAS 66880-77-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C30H60O2 and a molecular weight of 452.80 g/mol.
Structurally, 2-Tetradecylhexadecanoic Acid (C30H60O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 1.0, corresponding to approximately 1 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 452.80 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.
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.
