Chemical Structure

(R,S)-Formoterol Impurity CAS 67346-51-4 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of (R,S)-Formoterol Impurity is closely related to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

(R,S)-Formoterol Impurity (CAS 67346-51-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C19H24N2O4 and a molecular weight of 344.40 g/mol.

Owing to a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, (R,S)-Formoterol Impurity is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 344.40 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), (R,S)-Formoterol Impurity 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.
