Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 433.42 g/mol gives Trazodone Impurity 8 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Trazodone Impurity 8 (CAS 6323-09-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C23H30Cl2N4, MW 433.42 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Structurally, Trazodone Impurity 8 (C23H30Cl2N4) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 433.42 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.
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), Trazodone Impurity 8 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.
