Chemical Structure

Linezolid Impurity 40 CAS 224323-47-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Linezolid Impurity 40 is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Linezolid Impurity 40 (CAS 224323-47-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H10ClNO2, MW 151.59 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Linezolid Impurity 40 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 151.59 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
