Chemical Structure

Linezolid Impurity 4 CAS 496031-56-2 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Linezolid Impurity 4 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.

Linezolid Impurity 4 (CAS 496031-56-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H19FN2O5 and a molecular weight of 338.33 g/mol.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, Linezolid Impurity 4 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 338.33 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.
