Chemical Structure

Leflunomide Impurity 17 CAS 67305-24-2 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Leflunomide Impurity 17 (CAS 67305-24-2), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H4ClNO2, MW 145.54 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Leflunomide Impurity 17 (C5H4ClNO2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 4.0, corresponding to approximately 4 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 145.54 g/mol, it falls into the low-molecular-weight range. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Leflunomide Impurity 17 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
