Chemical Structure

Etofenamate Impurity N9 CAS 68749-59-7 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 323.31 g/mol gives Etofenamate Impurity N9 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Etofenamate Impurity N9 (CAS 68749-59-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C17H16F3NO2, MW 323.31 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Etofenamate Impurity N9 (C17H16F3NO2) is characterized by a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
