Chemical Structure

Labetalol EP Impurity C HCl CAS 2386661-13-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 322.79 g/mol gives Labetalol EP Impurity C HCl distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Labetalol EP Impurity C HCl (CAS 2386661-13-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H18N2O3HCl, MW 322.79 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Labetalol EP Impurity C HCl (C16H18N2O3HCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
