Chemical Structure

Haloperidol impurity 40 CAS 1253910-15-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Haloperidol impurity 40 (CAS 1253910-15-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H18FNO2, MW 251.30 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Haloperidol impurity 40 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 251.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Haloperidol impurity 40 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.
