Chemical Structure

Diphenhydramine EP Impurity C HCl CAS 1808-12-4 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Diphenhydramine EP Impurity C HCl (CAS 1808-12-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H20BrNOHCl, MW 370.71 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Diphenhydramine EP Impurity C HCl (C17H20BrNOHCl) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 7.0, corresponding to approximately 7 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 370.71 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Diphenhydramine EP Impurity C HCl 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.
