Tetracaine Impurity 37 CAS 512175-79-0 (free base) chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Tetracaine Impurity 37 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.

CATO supplies Tetracaine Impurity 37 (CAS 512175-79-0 (free base)), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C13H19NO2HCl, MW 257.76 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Tetracaine Impurity 37 (C13H19NO2HCl) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
