Citalopram Impurity 22 CAS 227954-87-2 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Citalopram Impurity 22 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.

Citalopram Impurity 22 (CAS 227954-87-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H22FNO2 and a molecular weight of 327.39 g/mol.

Citalopram Impurity 22 (C20H22FNO2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine 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).

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.
