Chemical Structure

Gadobutrol impurity 179 CAS 138168-36-2 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C18H34N4O9, Gadobutrol impurity 179 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 450.48 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).
