Fluocinonide Impurity 2 CAS 67438-37-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO manufactures Fluocinonide Impurity 2 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.

CATO supplies Fluocinonide Impurity 2 (CAS 67438-37-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C26H32F2O7, MW 494.52 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C26H32F2O7, Fluocinonide Impurity 2 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 494.52 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
