Chemical Structure

Febuxostat t-Butyl Ether Acid Impurity CAS 2418591-43-0 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Febuxostat t-Butyl Ether Acid Impurity is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Febuxostat t-Butyl Ether Acid Impurity (CAS 2418591-43-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H16N2O3S, MW 316.37 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Febuxostat t-Butyl Ether Acid Impurity is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 316.37 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Febuxostat t-Butyl Ether Acid Impurity 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.
