Chemical Structure

Butylphthalide Impurity 71 CAS 1379356-37-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Butylphthalide Impurity 71 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Butylphthalide Impurity 71 (CAS 1379356-37-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H4Br2O2 and a molecular weight of 291.92 g/mol.

Butylphthalide Impurity 71 (C8H4Br2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), Butylphthalide Impurity 71 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.
