Chemical Structure

(Z)-Octadec-5-enoic acid CAS 676-29-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (Z)-Octadec-5-enoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(Z)-Octadec-5-enoic acid (CAS 676-29-9), molecular formula C18H34O2 and molecular weight 282.46 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C18H34O2, (Z)-Octadec-5-enoic acid contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 282.46 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.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (Z)-Octadec-5-enoic acid 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.
