Chemical Structure

Citalopram EP Impurity F oxalate CAS 64372-43-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Citalopram EP Impurity F oxalate is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Citalopram EP Impurity F oxalate (CAS 64372-43-6, C19H21BrFNOC2H2O4) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

The molecular framework of Citalopram EP Impurity F oxalate (C19H21BrFNOC2H2O4) is characterized by a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/bromine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing 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).

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.

CATO manufactures Citalopram EP Impurity F oxalate under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
