Chemical Structure

Valproate impurity 87 CAS 59726-37-3 chemical structure

Description

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Valproate impurity 87 is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 228.28 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.

Valproate impurity 87 (CAS 59726-37-3) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H20O4 and a molecular weight of 228.28 g/mol.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Valproate impurity 87 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.
