Chemical Structure

3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadecan-3-ol CAS 85761-30-4 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO supplies 3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadecan-3-ol (CAS 85761-30-4), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H42O, MW 298.55 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadecan-3-ol is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 298.55 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
