Tocopheryl Impurity 21 (Mixture of Isomers) (CAS 37570-32-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C31H52O3 and a molecular weight of 472.74 g/mol.
Tocopheryl Impurity 21 (Mixture of Isomers) (C31H52O3) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. Its high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio confers good lipid solubility, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
As a certified reference material (CRM), Tocopheryl Impurity 21 (Mixture of Isomers) 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.
