Chemical Structure

Levocarnitine Impurity N20 CAS 41363-39-7 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Levocarnitine Impurity N20 is closely related to an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Levocarnitine Impurity N20 (CAS 41363-39-7, C7H7NO4S) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Structurally, Levocarnitine Impurity N20 (C7H7NO4S) contains an amide group, a sulfone group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 5.0, corresponding to approximately 5 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 201.20 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Levocarnitine Impurity N20 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
