Chemical Structure

Dopamine Impurity 24 CAS 1477-68-5 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Dopamine Impurity 24 is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Dopamine Impurity 24 (CAS 1477-68-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C9H13NO2HCl, MW 203.67 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Dopamine Impurity 24 is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 203.67 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
