Chemical Structure

Betamethasone EP Impurity J CAS 18383-24-9 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Betamethasone EP Impurity J (CAS 18383-24-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C22H30O4, MW 358.47 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Betamethasone EP Impurity J (C22H30O4) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 358.47 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).

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.

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.
