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.
Diflunisal impurity 5 (CAS 53591-79-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C14H10F2O and a molecular weight of 232.23 g/mol.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Diflunisal impurity 5 is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 232.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
