Chemical Structure

Vitamin K1 Impurity 29 CAS 481-85-6(free base) chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Vitamin K1 Impurity 29 is closely related to 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.

Vitamin K1 Impurity 29 (CAS 481-85-6(free base)) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C11H10O2H2O and a molecular weight of 192.21 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Vitamin K1 Impurity 29 (C11H10O2H2O) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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).

This reference standard supports related-substances testing and method development in line with ICH Q3A/Q3B guidance on impurity control, and is suitable for system suitability testing and forced-degradation studies.

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.
