Chemical Structure

Butoxybenzene Impurity 11 CAS 101271-60-7 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Butoxybenzene Impurity 11 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 248.36 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Butoxybenzene Impurity 11 (CAS 101271-60-7, C16H24O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
