Chemical Structure

Butylphthalide Impurity 68 CAS 105694-44-8 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Butylphthalide Impurity 68 (CAS 105694-44-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H5BrO2, MW 213.03 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Butylphthalide Impurity 68 (C8H5BrO2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Butylphthalide Impurity 68 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.
