Chemical Structure

11,15-Dimethylhexadecan-7-one CAS 71172-52-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 11,15-Dimethylhexadecan-7-one is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 11,15-Dimethylhexadecan-7-one (CAS 71172-52-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H36O, MW 268.48 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 11,15-Dimethylhexadecan-7-one is typically white to off-white low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 268.48 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.

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 11,15-Dimethylhexadecan-7-one 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.
