Chemical Structure

(S)-Citalopram Oxalate CAS 219861-08-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 414.43 g/mol gives (S)-Citalopram Oxalate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

(S)-Citalopram Oxalate (CAS 219861-08-2), molecular formula C20H21FN2OC2H2O4 and molecular weight 414.43 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Structurally, (S)-Citalopram Oxalate (C20H21FN2OC2H2O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 414.43 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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 is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (S)-Citalopram Oxalate 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.
