Chemical Structure

Nor-Ephedrine HCl CAS 40626-29-7 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Nor-Ephedrine HCl (CAS 40626-29-7), molecular formula C9H13NOHCl and molecular weight 187.67 g/mol, is a CATO reference standard with documented purity and traceability.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Nor-Ephedrine HCl is typically white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 187.67 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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).

CATO manufactures Nor-Ephedrine HCl 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.
