Chemical Structure

Erlotinib Impurity 88 CAS 18193-72-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Erlotinib Impurity 88 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Erlotinib Impurity 88 (CAS 18193-72-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C9H7Br2NO4, MW 352.96 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C9H7Br2NO4, Erlotinib Impurity 88 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 352.96 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.
