Chemical Structure

Diclofenac EP Impurity A CAS 15362-40-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Diclofenac EP Impurity A is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Diclofenac EP Impurity A (CAS 15362-40-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H9Cl2NO, MW 278.13 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C14H9Cl2NO, Diclofenac EP Impurity A contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 278.13 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), Diclofenac EP Impurity A 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.
