Estazolam Impurity 7 CAS 163167-55-3 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Estazolam Impurity 7 (CAS 163167-55-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H11ClN4, MW 294.74 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, Estazolam Impurity 7 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 294.74 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
