Chemical Structure

Levothyroxine Impurity 14 CAS 3914-31-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 635.96 g/mol gives Levothyroxine Impurity 14 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Levothyroxine Impurity 14 (CAS 3914-31-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H11I3O4, MW 635.96 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Levothyroxine Impurity 14 (C15H11I3O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, iodine 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. 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.

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.
