Chemical Structure

N-Nitroso Cetirizine EP Impurity A CAS 2005-04-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of N-Nitroso Cetirizine EP Impurity A is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

N-Nitroso Cetirizine EP Impurity A (CAS 2005-04-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H18ClN3O and a molecular weight of 315.80 g/mol.

Structurally, N-Nitroso Cetirizine EP Impurity A (C17H18ClN3O) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 315.80 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), N-Nitroso Cetirizine EP Impurity A 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.
