Chemical Structure

Oxazepam impurity 12 CAS 13788-59-5 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Oxazepam impurity 12 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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Oxazepam impurity 12 (CAS 13788-59-5, C15H12ClNO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Oxazepam impurity 12 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 273.71 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.
