Chemical Structure

(Z)-Hexadec-3-enoic acid CAS 75730-20-0 chemical structure

Description

Structurally, (Z)-Hexadec-3-enoic acid (C16H30O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, 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 254.41 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.

(Z)-Hexadec-3-enoic acid (CAS 75730-20-0) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C16H30O2 and a molecular weight of 254.41 g/mol.

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.
