12-Hydroxy-12-methyloctadecanoic acid CAS 88099-77-8

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including 12-Hydroxy-12-methyloctadecanoic acid.

12-Hydroxy-12-methyloctadecanoic acid (CAS 88099-77-8), molecular formula C19H38O3 and molecular weight 314.50 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, 12-Hydroxy-12-methyloctadecanoic acid is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 314.50 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.

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), 12-Hydroxy-12-methyloctadecanoic acid 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.
