tert-Butyl 16-bromohexadecanoate (CAS 865200-89-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C20H39BrO2 and a molecular weight of 391.43 g/mol.
Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, tert-Butyl 16-bromohexadecanoate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 391.43 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
CATO manufactures tert-Butyl 16-bromohexadecanoate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
