Methenamine Impurity 2 CAS 62190-92-5 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Methenamine Impurity 2 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.

CATO supplies Methenamine Impurity 2 (CAS 62190-92-5), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C6H12N4O, MW 156.19 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Methenamine Impurity 2 (C6H12N4O) contains an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 3.0, corresponding to approximately 3 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 156.19 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
