Description
(E)-2-Hexadecenal is an unsaturated long-chain aldehyde identified by CAS number 22644-96-8 and the empirical formula C₁₆H₃₀O. The molar mass is 238,41 g/mol. Characterised by a trans double bond conjugated to the carbonyl at the 2-position of a C₁₆ chain, this lipid-related molecule is of interest in biochemical signalling and sphingolipid research contexts. It is Investigators studying lipid mediators, membrane-associated pathways or aldehyde reactivity can use the compound as a defined reference or experimental probe. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH and integrates readily into chemical and biochemical laboratory portfolios. Precise CAS registration and formula data enable straightforward documentation and stoichiometric use. Its sixteen-carbon backbone and electrophilic enal motif provide a useful handle for conjugation chemistry and metabolic studies. The small pack supports economical handling of this specialised unsaturated aldehyde while preserving material for campaigns that require only milligram-scale quantities.

Questions about (E)-2-Hexadecenal, 2 mg
What is this article?
(E)-2-Hexadecenal, 2 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.
