Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 162.27 g/mol gives Xylometazoline Impurity N1 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Xylometazoline Impurity N1 (CAS 7364-19-4) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C12H18 and a molecular weight of 162.27 g/mol.
Based on its molecular formula C12H18, Xylometazoline Impurity N1 contains an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 162.27 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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), Xylometazoline Impurity N1 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.
