Chemical Structure

Ascorbic Acid EP Impurity E CAS 144-62-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Ascorbic Acid EP Impurity E is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Ascorbic Acid EP Impurity E (CAS 144-62-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C2H2O4 and a molecular weight of 90.03 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C2H2O4, Ascorbic Acid EP Impurity E contains a carboxylic acid group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 90.03 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry.

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.

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.
