Chemical Structure

Efavirenz Impurity 12 CAS 221177-56-6 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Efavirenz Impurity 12.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Efavirenz Impurity 12 (CAS 221177-56-6, C21H19ClF3NO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Efavirenz Impurity 12 (C21H19ClF3NO2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
