Chemical Structure

Apremilast Impurity 51 CAS 2097600-16-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Apremilast Impurity 51 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Apremilast Impurity 51 (CAS 2097600-16-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C14H21NO5S, MW 315.39 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C14H21NO5S, Apremilast Impurity 51 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 315.39 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Apremilast Impurity 51 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.
