Chemical Structure

Esmolol Impurity 39 CAS 54965-55-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Esmolol Impurity 39 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Esmolol Impurity 39 (CAS 54965-55-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C12H14O4, MW 222.24 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Esmolol Impurity 39 (C12H14O4) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 222.24 g/mol, it falls into the medium-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.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Esmolol Impurity 39 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.
