Chemical Structure

Pramipexole Impurity 60 CAS 687639-03-8 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Pramipexole Impurity 60 is closely related to an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Pramipexole Impurity 60 (CAS 687639-03-8) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H12BrNO2 and a molecular weight of 234.09 g/mol.

Pramipexole Impurity 60 (C8H12BrNO2) contains an amide group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution. Halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Pramipexole Impurity 60 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.
