Chemical Structure

15-Iodopentadecanoic acid CAS 71736-22-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 15-Iodopentadecanoic acid is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies 15-Iodopentadecanoic acid (CAS 71736-22-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C15H29IO2, MW 368.29 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine substitution, 15-Iodopentadecanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 368.29 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.

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.
