The occurrence of Vortioxetine impurity 114 HCl is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Vortioxetine impurity 114 HCl (CAS 3077786-27-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H22N2SHCl, MW 334.91 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Vortioxetine impurity 114 HCl (C18H22N2SHCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, sulfur-containing functionality, 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).
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.
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.
