Chemical Structure

Cefaclor EP Impurity C CAS 143059-69-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

Cefaclor EP Impurity C (CAS 143059-69-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H14ClN3O4S and a molecular weight of 367.81 g/mol.

Structurally, Cefaclor EP Impurity C (C15H14ClN3O4S) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 367.81 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
