Chemical Structure

Orlistat Impurity 15 ((S,E)-Henicos-7-en-10-ol) CAS 68711-41-1 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Orlistat Impurity 15 ((S,E)-Henicos-7-en-10-ol) is closely related to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Orlistat Impurity 15 ((S,E)-Henicos-7-en-10-ol) (CAS 68711-41-1, C21H42O) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Orlistat Impurity 15 ((S,E)-Henicos-7-en-10-ol) is typically white to off-white crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 310.56 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Orlistat Impurity 15 ((S,E)-Henicos-7-en-10-ol) 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.
