Chemical Structure

Levocarnitine impurity 26 CAS 1116-95-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Levocarnitine impurity 26 is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Levocarnitine impurity 26 (CAS 1116-95-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H15N2OCl, MW 178.66 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C7H15N2OCl, Levocarnitine impurity 26 contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 178.66 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

CATO manufactures Levocarnitine impurity 26 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.
