Chemical Structure

Acetaminophen Impurity 34 CAS 146897-60-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Acetaminophen Impurity 34 is closely related to an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Acetaminophen Impurity 34 (CAS 146897-60-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H8N2O3 and a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol.

Structurally, Acetaminophen Impurity 34 (C8H8N2O3) contains an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 180.16 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
