Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 220.65 g/mol gives Phloroglucinol Impurity 7 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Phloroglucinol Impurity 7 (CAS 203645-99-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H9ClO2 and a molecular weight of 220.65 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Phloroglucinol Impurity 7 (C12H9ClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
