Chemical Structure

Clotrimazole Impurity 21 CAS 29647-82-3 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Clotrimazole Impurity 21 (C19H15ClO) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Clotrimazole Impurity 21 (CAS 29647-82-3, C19H15ClO) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

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.
