Chemical Structure

Cetirizine EP Impurity D CAS 346451-15-8 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 487.46 g/mol gives Cetirizine EP Impurity D distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Cetirizine EP Impurity D (CAS 346451-15-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C30H28Cl2N2, MW 487.46 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Cetirizine EP Impurity D (C30H28Cl2N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 17.0, corresponding to approximately 17 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 487.46 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Cetirizine EP Impurity D meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
