Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 234.20 g/mol gives Riluzole Impurity 2 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Riluzole Impurity 2 (CAS 752969-85-0) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H5F3N2OS and a molecular weight of 234.20 g/mol.
The molecular framework of Riluzole Impurity 2 (C8H5F3N2OS) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, sulfur-containing functionality, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution. 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. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).
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.
