Chemical Structure

Clonazepam EP Impurity B CAS 55198-89-5 chemical structure

Description

Clonazepam EP Impurity B (CAS 55198-89-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C15H10ClN3O3 and a molecular weight of 315.71 g/mol.

Structurally, Clonazepam EP Impurity B (C15H10ClN3O3) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 12.0, corresponding to approximately 12 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 315.71 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.

CATO manufactures Clonazepam EP Impurity B under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
