Chemical Structure

Caffeine EP Impurity E CAS 20041-90-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Caffeine EP Impurity E is closely related to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Caffeine EP Impurity E (CAS 20041-90-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C7H12N4O and a molecular weight of 168.20 g/mol.

Caffeine EP Impurity E (C7H12N4O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its physicochemical properties are representative of its class; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

CATO manufactures Caffeine EP Impurity E under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
