Chemical Structure

Diclofenac potassium CAS 15307-81-0 chemical structure

Description

Diclofenac potassium (CAS 15307-81-0), molecular formula C14H10Cl2NO2K and molecular weight 334.24 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, Diclofenac potassium (C14H10Cl2NO2K) contains a salt form, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.5, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 334.24 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diclofenac potassium 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.
