Chemical Structure

Sodium (9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoate CAS 822-18-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

Sodium (9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoate (CAS 822-18-4) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C18H29O2Na and a molecular weight of 300.42 g/mol.

Structurally, Sodium (9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15-trienoate (C18H29O2Na) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.5, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 300.42 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-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.

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.
