Chemical Structure

1,2-Epoxyoctadecane CAS 7390-81-0 chemical structure

Description

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

1,2-Epoxyoctadecane (CAS 7390-81-0), molecular formula C18H36O and molecular weight 268.48 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

The molecular framework of 1,2-Epoxyoctadecane (C18H36O) is characterized by 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), 1,2-Epoxyoctadecane 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.
