Salmeterol Impurity 2 CAS 160889-18-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 365.22 g/mol gives Salmeterol Impurity 2 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Salmeterol Impurity 2 (CAS 160889-18-9), a certified reference material (molecular formula C17H17BrO4, MW 365.22 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Structurally, Salmeterol Impurity 2 (C17H17BrO4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 9.0, corresponding to approximately 9 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 365.22 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), Salmeterol Impurity 2 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.
