Chemical Structure

Citalopram Impurity 48 Chloride CAS 1370643-27-8 chemical structure

Description

Citalopram Impurity 48 Chloride (CAS 1370643-27-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C40H41F2N4OCl and a molecular weight of 667.24 g/mol.

Citalopram Impurity 48 Chloride (C40H41F2N4OCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point; 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.

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), Citalopram Impurity 48 Chloride 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.
