Chemical Structure

Salmeterol Impurity 9 CAS 27475-14-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 363.20 g/mol gives Salmeterol Impurity 9 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Salmeterol Impurity 9 (CAS 27475-14-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H15BrO4, MW 363.20 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Salmeterol Impurity 9 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 363.20 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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), Salmeterol Impurity 9 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.
