Chemical Structure

EsCitalopram EP Impurity H CAS 63284-72-0 chemical structure

Description

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.

EsCitalopram EP Impurity H (CAS 63284-72-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C20H21FN2O2 and a molecular weight of 340.39 g/mol.

The molecular framework of EsCitalopram EP Impurity H (C20H21FN2O2) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
