Acetamide, N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-[2-ethyl-6-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]- CAS 33717-34-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Acetamide, N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-[2-ethyl-6-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]- is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Acetamide, N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-[2-ethyl-6-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]- (CAS 33717-34-9), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H28ClNO2, MW 325.87 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Acetamide, N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-[2-ethyl-6-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]- (C18H28ClNO2) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, 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).

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 Acetamide, N-(butoxymethyl)-2-chloro-N-[2-ethyl-6-(1-methylethyl)phenyl]- 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.
