Fluvoxamine Impurity 23 CAS 455-18-5 chemical structure

Description

Fluvoxamine Impurity 23 (CAS 455-18-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H4F3N and a molecular weight of 171.12 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, fluorine substitution, Fluvoxamine Impurity 23 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 171.12 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).

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.
