Description
1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine is a defined ether phospholipid analogue for biochemical and lipidology applications. It is registered under CAS number 52691-62-0, with empirical formula C₂₄H₅₂NO₆P and a molar mass of 481,65 g/mol. The product is This sn-configured hexadecyl glycerophosphocholine structure is relevant to research on ether lipids, platelet-activating factor related chemistry, and membrane-active species. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the compound supports experiments that require a well-characterised phosphocholine headgroup linked to a C₁₆ alkyl ether chain. Scientists use it in analytical method development, comparative lipid studies, and synthetic biology contexts where precise molecular identity is essential. The low milligram unit quantity helps conserve material while enabling accurate weighing and dilution. Documented molar mass and formula data facilitate stoichiometric planning and traceable laboratory records across chemical and biochemical research settings.

Questions about 1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholin, e, 10 mg
What is this article?
1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholin, e, 10 mg is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
