Chemical Structure

Methyl behenate CAS 929-77-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methyl behenate 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.

CATO supplies Methyl behenate (CAS 929-77-1), a certified reference material (molecular formula C23H46O2, MW 354.61 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Methyl behenate is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 354.61 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.
