Chemical Structure

Entacapone Impurity 27 CAS 6330-25-2 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 98.10 g/mol gives Entacapone Impurity 27 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Entacapone Impurity 27 (CAS 6330-25-2, C4H6N2O) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Entacapone Impurity 27 is typically white to pale yellow liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 98.10 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
