Chemical Structure

Methoxamine Impurity 1 CAS 5803-30-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 194.23 g/mol gives Methoxamine Impurity 1 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Methoxamine Impurity 1 (CAS 5803-30-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H14O3, MW 194.23 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Methoxamine Impurity 1 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 194.23 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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.

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.
