Chemical Structure

Loratadine Impurity 77 CAS 170727-68-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Loratadine Impurity 77 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.

CATO supplies Loratadine Impurity 77 (CAS 170727-68-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H23ClN2, MW 326.86 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Loratadine Impurity 77 (C20H23ClN2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 326.86 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
