Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 260.76 g/mol gives Chlorphenamine EP Impurity C distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Chlorphenamine EP Impurity C (CAS 20619-12-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H17ClN2 and a molecular weight of 260.76 g/mol.
Structurally, Chlorphenamine EP Impurity C (C15H17ClN2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. 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 260.76 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Chlorphenamine EP Impurity C 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.
