Chemical Structure

Chlorhexidine Impurity 6 CAS 62247-48-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 507.42 g/mol gives Chlorhexidine Impurity 6 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Chlorhexidine Impurity 6 (CAS 62247-48-7, C22H28Cl2N8O2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Chlorhexidine Impurity 6 (C22H28Cl2N8O2) contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Chlorhexidine 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.
