Chemical Structure

3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid CAS 928-17-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of 3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a phosphate ester group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid (CAS 928-17-6) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C40H66N7O19P3S and a molecular weight of 1073.97 g/mol.

The molecular framework of 3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic acid (C40H66N7O19P3S) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a phosphate ester group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), 3-Hydroxyhexadecanoic 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.
