Chemical Structure

Deoxycholic acid Impurity 27 CAS 2242-12-8 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.

Deoxycholic acid Impurity 27 (CAS 2242-12-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C27H42O4 and a molecular weight of 430.62 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Deoxycholic acid Impurity 27 (C27H42O4) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.
