Chemical Structure

Levocarnitine Impurity N27 CAS 6790-41-6 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Levocarnitine Impurity N27 is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Levocarnitine Impurity N27 (CAS 6790-41-6), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C5H8O, MW 84.12 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Levocarnitine Impurity N27 is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 84.12 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

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 manufactures Levocarnitine Impurity N27 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.
