Diclofenac impurity 10 CAS 172494-87-0 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Diclofenac impurity 10 (CAS 172494-87-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H11Cl2N, MW 252.14 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Diclofenac impurity 10 (C13H11Cl2N) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
