Chemical Structure

Procaine Impurity 12 CAS 16017-69-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 199.63 g/mol gives Procaine Impurity 12 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Procaine Impurity 12 (CAS 16017-69-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C9H10ClNO2 and a molecular weight of 199.63 g/mol.

Structurally, Procaine Impurity 12 (C9H10ClNO2) contains 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 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 199.63 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.

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.

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.
