Chemical Structure

Tolterodine Impurity 6 CAS 209747-04-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Tolterodine Impurity 6 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Tolterodine Impurity 6 (CAS 209747-04-6, C16H16O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Tolterodine Impurity 6 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 240.30 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), Tolterodine Impurity 6 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.
