Chemical Structure

Clotrimazole Impurity 12 CAS 15145-69-4 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 195.47 g/mol gives Clotrimazole Impurity 12 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Clotrimazole Impurity 12 (CAS 15145-69-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C7H5Cl3, MW 195.47 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Clotrimazole Impurity 12 (C7H5Cl3) contains chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 195.47 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
