Chemical Structure

Cefdinir Impurity 81 CAS 137171-77-8 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Cefdinir Impurity 81 (C13H17ClN2O3) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Cefdinir Impurity 81 (CAS 137171-77-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H17ClN2O3 and a molecular weight of 284.74 g/mol.

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), Cefdinir Impurity 81 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.
