Diphenhydramine impurity 18 (CAS 150556-79-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C19H26N2O and a molecular weight of 298.42 g/mol.
Diphenhydramine impurity 18 (C19H26N2O) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).
As a certified reference material (CRM), Diphenhydramine impurity 18 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.
