Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 156.61 g/mol gives Entecavir Impurity 45 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Entecavir Impurity 45 (CAS 3587-60-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H9ClO, MW 156.61 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Entecavir Impurity 45 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 156.61 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).
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), Entecavir Impurity 45 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.
