Chemical Structure

Penfluridol Impurity 5 CAS 61668-03-9 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 244.28 g/mol gives Penfluridol Impurity 5 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Penfluridol Impurity 5 (CAS 61668-03-9) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H14F2 and a molecular weight of 244.28 g/mol.

Owing to fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Penfluridol Impurity 5 is typically pale yellow to yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 244.28 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.

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.

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.
