Chemical Structure

Lidocaine Impurity N4 CAS 332903-68-1 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Lidocaine Impurity N4 (C16H12ClF4NO) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

Lidocaine Impurity N4 (CAS 332903-68-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H12ClF4NO and a molecular weight of 345.72 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.

CATO manufactures Lidocaine Impurity N4 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.
