Chemical Structure

Ethinylestradiol EP Impurity J CAS 15071-66-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Ethinylestradiol EP Impurity J.

Ethinylestradiol EP Impurity J (CAS 15071-66-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C21H26O2 and a molecular weight of 310.43 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Ethinylestradiol EP Impurity J (C21H26O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ethinylestradiol EP Impurity J 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.
