Chemical Structure

Chlorpromazine impurity 18 HCl CAS 15502-93-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Chlorpromazine impurity 18 HCl (CAS 15502-93-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H19BrN2SHCl, MW 399.77 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Chlorpromazine impurity 18 HCl (C17H19BrN2SHCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine/bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 399.77 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
