Chemical Structure

Carbocisteine Impurity 54 TFA CAS 21885-10-9 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Carbocisteine Impurity 54 TFA (CAS 21885-10-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H9NO4SC2HF3O2, MW 293.21 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Carbocisteine Impurity 54 TFA (C5H9NO4SC2HF3O2) is characterized by a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
