Chemical Structure

Guanfacine Hydrochloride Impurity 3 CAS 6575-24-2 chemical structure

Description

Guanfacine Hydrochloride Impurity 3 (C8H6Cl2O2) contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies Guanfacine Hydrochloride Impurity 3 (CAS 6575-24-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H6Cl2O2, MW 205.04 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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.
