Chemical Structure

Crotonic Acid Impurity 1 (Butyl 3-Formyl-Crotonate) CAS 40212-97-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 170.21 g/mol gives Crotonic Acid Impurity 1 (Butyl 3-Formyl-Crotonate) distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Crotonic Acid Impurity 1 (Butyl 3-Formyl-Crotonate) (CAS 40212-97-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C9H14O3 and a molecular weight of 170.21 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Crotonic Acid Impurity 1 (Butyl 3-Formyl-Crotonate) (C9H14O3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Crotonic Acid Impurity 1 (Butyl 3-Formyl-Crotonate) under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
