Chemical Structure

Benzoyl 3-chlorobenzoyl peroxide CAS 13495-28-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Benzoyl 3-chlorobenzoyl peroxide (CAS 13495-28-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H9ClO4, MW 276.67 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Benzoyl 3-chlorobenzoyl peroxide (C14H9ClO4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
