Chemical Structure

Phenylephrine Impurity 30 CAS 286426-31-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Phenylephrine Impurity 30 (CAS 286426-31-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H19NO2, MW 257.33 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Phenylephrine Impurity 30 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 257.33 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.

CATO manufactures Phenylephrine Impurity 30 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
