Chemical Structure

Diclofenac Impurity 16 CAS 146607-19-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 296.15 g/mol gives Diclofenac Impurity 16 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Diclofenac Impurity 16 (CAS 146607-19-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H11Cl2NO2 and a molecular weight of 296.15 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C14H11Cl2NO2, Diclofenac Impurity 16 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 296.15 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
