Structurally, Estradiol Benzoate EP Impurity H (C27H30O4) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 13.0, corresponding to approximately 13 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 418.52 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
CATO supplies Estradiol Benzoate EP Impurity H (CAS 4954-17-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C27H30O4, MW 418.52 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
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.
