Chemical Structure

Leflunomide EP Impurity F CAS 1403564-06-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 270.21 g/mol gives Leflunomide EP Impurity F distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Leflunomide EP Impurity F (CAS 1403564-06-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H9F3N2O2, MW 270.21 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Leflunomide EP Impurity F (C12H9F3N2O2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
