Chemical Structure

Norepinephrine Impurity 13 CAS 63704-55-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Norepinephrine Impurity 13 (CAS 63704-55-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H7ClO3, MW 186.59 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Norepinephrine Impurity 13 (C8H7ClO3) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
