Chemical Structure

Metoprolol EP Impurity N Oxalate CAS 73313-34-5 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 223.22 g/mol gives Metoprolol EP Impurity N Oxalate distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Metoprolol EP Impurity N Oxalate (CAS 73313-34-5) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C6H15NO2C2H2O4 and a molecular weight of 223.22 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Metoprolol EP Impurity N Oxalate (C6H15NO2C2H2O4) is characterized by an amino-acid-derived structure, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the protonation state of its nitrogen-containing groups, which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.
