Chemical Structure

Acetylcysteine Impurity 46 Trifluoroacetic acid CAS 282727-77-9(Free Base) chemical structure

Description

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.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Acetylcysteine Impurity 46 Trifluoroacetic acid (CAS 282727-77-9(Free Base), C5H9NO5SC2HF3O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Based on its molecular formula C5H9NO5SC2HF3O2, Acetylcysteine Impurity 46 Trifluoroacetic acid contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, an amide group, a sulfone group, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 309.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
