Metaraminol Impurity 60 CAS 501-53-1 chemical structure

Description

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.

Metaraminol Impurity 60 (CAS 501-53-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7ClO2 and a molecular weight of 170.59 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C8H7ClO2, Metaraminol Impurity 60 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 170.59 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
