Betamethasone impurity 66 CAS 4735-64-2 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Betamethasone impurity 66 (CAS 4735-64-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C24H31ClO6, MW 450.95 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Betamethasone impurity 66 (C24H31ClO6) contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

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.
