Chemical Structure

Estazolam impurity 11 CAS 29975-18-6 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Estazolam impurity 11 (CAS 29975-18-6, C16H11ClN4O) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Estazolam impurity 11 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 310.74 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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), Estazolam impurity 11 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.
