Chemical Structure

Empagliflozin impurity 231 CAS 1637561-86-4 chemical structure

Description

Empagliflozin impurity 231 (CAS 1637561-86-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H14BrClO3 and a molecular weight of 381.65 g/mol.

Empagliflozin impurity 231 (C17H14BrClO3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Empagliflozin impurity 231 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.
