Chemical Structure

2-Aminohexadecanoic acid, >96% CAS 7769-79-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 2-Aminohexadecanoic acid, >96% is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

2-Aminohexadecanoic acid, >96% (CAS 7769-79-1), molecular formula C16H33NO2 and molecular weight 271.44 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Based on its molecular formula C16H33NO2, 2-Aminohexadecanoic acid, >96% contains an amide group, 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 271.44 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.

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), 2-Aminohexadecanoic acid, >96% 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.
