Chemical Structure

Clenbuterol EP impurity B HCI CAS 37845-71-9 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Clenbuterol EP impurity B HCI is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Clenbuterol EP impurity B HCI (CAS 37845-71-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H16Cl2N2OHCl and a molecular weight of 311.63 g/mol.

Structurally, Clenbuterol EP impurity B HCI (C12H16Cl2N2OHCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 311.63 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

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.
