Chemical Structure

Ketoconazole Impurity 6 CAS 61397-56-6 chemical structure

Description

As a certified reference material (CRM), Ketoconazole 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.

CATO supplies Ketoconazole Impurity 6 (CAS 61397-56-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H15BrCl2O4, MW 446.12 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C18H15BrCl2O4, Ketoconazole Impurity 6 contains a flavonoid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine/bromine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 446.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
