Chemical Structure

Salbutamol EP Impurity I CAS 56796-66-8 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C20H27NO3, Salbutamol EP Impurity I contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 329.43 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO supplies Salbutamol EP Impurity I (CAS 56796-66-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H27NO3, MW 329.43 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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), Salbutamol EP Impurity I 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.
