Chemical Structure

Linezolid Impurity 18 CAS 212325-40-1 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 254.26 g/mol gives Linezolid Impurity 18 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Linezolid Impurity 18 (CAS 212325-40-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H15FN2O3, MW 254.26 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Linezolid Impurity 18 (C12H15FN2O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

CATO manufactures Linezolid Impurity 18 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
