As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Vitamin K1 Impurity 67 (CAS 4444-14-8, C20H39Cl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.
Owing to chlorine substitution, Vitamin K1 Impurity 67 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 314.98 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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.
