Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 216.32 g/mol gives Amorolfine Impurity 50 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Amorolfine Impurity 50 (CAS 67468-55-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H20O, MW 216.32 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Based on its molecular formula C15H20O, Amorolfine Impurity 50 contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 216.32 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.
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.
