Chemical Structure

2-(Dimethyl(octadecyl)ammonio)acetate CAS 820-66-6 chemical structure

Description

2-(Dimethyl(octadecyl)ammonio)acetate (C22H45NO2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies 2-(Dimethyl(octadecyl)ammonio)acetate (CAS 820-66-6), a certified reference material (molecular formula C22H45NO2, MW 355.60 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

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-(Dimethyl(octadecyl)ammonio)acetate 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.
