Vitamin K1 Impurity 8 CAS 16033-41-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Vitamin K1 Impurity 8 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

Vitamin K1 Impurity 8 (CAS 16033-41-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C31H46O2 and a molecular weight of 450.70 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Vitamin K1 Impurity 8 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 450.70 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
