Chemical Structure

Methyl 15-hydroxypentadecanoate CAS 76529-42-5 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Methyl 15-hydroxypentadecanoate.

CATO supplies Methyl 15-hydroxypentadecanoate (CAS 76529-42-5), a certified reference material (molecular formula C16H32O3, MW 272.42 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Based on its molecular formula C16H32O3, Methyl 15-hydroxypentadecanoate contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 272.42 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
