Chemical Structure

(E)-10-Hexadecenal CAS 72698-30-7 chemical structure

Description

(E)-10-Hexadecenal (CAS 72698-30-7), molecular formula C16H30O and molecular weight 238.41 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (E)-10-Hexadecenal (C16H30O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 2.0, corresponding to approximately 2 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 238.41 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (E)-10-Hexadecenal 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.
