Chemical Structure

Benzenesulfonate Impurity 4 CAS 309915-56-8 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Benzenesulfonate Impurity 4 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.25 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

Benzenesulfonate Impurity 4 (CAS 309915-56-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C9H12O5S and a molecular weight of 232.25 g/mol.

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.
