Chemical Structure

Terbutaline Impurity 59 CAS 3378-72-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Terbutaline Impurity 59 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Terbutaline Impurity 59 (CAS 3378-72-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H17N, MW 163.26 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, Terbutaline Impurity 59 is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 163.26 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
