Chemical Structure

Articaine Impurity N21 CAS 13781-65-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Articaine Impurity N21 is closely related to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Articaine Impurity N21 (CAS 13781-65-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H5ClOS and a molecular weight of 160.62 g/mol.

Owing to sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Articaine Impurity N21 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 160.62 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).

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), Articaine Impurity N21 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.
