Chemical Structure

Efavirenz Impurity 19 CAS 173676-60-3 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Efavirenz Impurity 19 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Efavirenz Impurity 19 (CAS 173676-60-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C21H19ClF3NO2, MW 409.83 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Efavirenz Impurity 19 (C21H19ClF3NO2) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Efavirenz Impurity 19 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.
