Chemical Structure

Brivaracetam Impurity 6 CAS 60559-16-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Brivaracetam Impurity 6 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Brivaracetam Impurity 6 (CAS 60559-16-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H20O2, MW 172.26 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C10H20O2, Brivaracetam Impurity 6 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic functional-group stretching vibrations in infrared spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 172.26 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.

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), Brivaracetam Impurity 6 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.
