Chemical Structure

Phenylephrine Impurity 37 CAS 70935-14-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Phenylephrine Impurity 37.

CATO supplies Phenylephrine Impurity 37 (CAS 70935-14-7), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H6O3, MW 150.13 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Phenylephrine Impurity 37 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 150.13 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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), Phenylephrine Impurity 37 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.
