Chemical Structure

Vitamin E Impurity 18 CAS 113892-08-3 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Vitamin E Impurity 18.

CATO supplies Vitamin E Impurity 18 (CAS 113892-08-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C29H44D6O2, MW 436.74 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to deuterium isotope labeling, a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Vitamin E Impurity 18 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 436.74 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).

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), Vitamin E Impurity 18 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.
