Chemical Structure

Citalopram Impurity 21 CAS 1433278-32-0 chemical structure

Description

Citalopram Impurity 21 (CAS 1433278-32-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C25H35FN2O3 and a molecular weight of 430.56 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C25H35FN2O3, Citalopram Impurity 21 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 430.56 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Citalopram Impurity 21 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.
