Chemical Structure

Dexmedetomidine Impurity 31 CAS 2142-71-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Dexmedetomidine Impurity 31 (CAS 2142-71-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H12O, MW 148.20 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Dexmedetomidine Impurity 31 (C10H12O) contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 148.20 g/mol, it falls into the low-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.

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.
