Chemical Structure

Chloromethyl heptadecanoate CAS 77878-00-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Chloromethyl heptadecanoate (CAS 77878-00-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula C18H35ClO2, MW 318.92 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Chloromethyl heptadecanoate (C18H35ClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
