Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 214.34 g/mol gives Heptyl hexanoate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Heptyl hexanoate (CAS 6976-72-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C13H26O2, MW 214.34 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.
The molecular framework of Heptyl hexanoate (C13H26O2) 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.
Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.
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.
