Chemical Structure

(R)-Zopiclone CAS 138680-08-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including (R)-Zopiclone.

(R)-Zopiclone (CAS 138680-08-7), molecular formula C17H17ClN6O3 and molecular weight 388.81 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, (R)-Zopiclone is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 388.81 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

CATO manufactures (R)-Zopiclone under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
