Chemical Structure

Betamethasone Impurity 10 CAS 38680-83-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 332.41 g/mol gives Betamethasone Impurity 10 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Betamethasone Impurity 10 (CAS 38680-83-0), a certified reference material (molecular formula C20H25FO3, MW 332.41 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

The molecular framework of Betamethasone Impurity 10 (C20H25FO3) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

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.
