Chemical Structure

Tocopherol Impurity 23 (Deshydroxy Tocopherol Quinone) CAS 75917-94-1 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Tocopherol Impurity 23 (Deshydroxy Tocopherol Quinone) (CAS 75917-94-1), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C29H50O2, MW 430.71 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Tocopherol Impurity 23 (Deshydroxy Tocopherol Quinone) (C29H50O2) is characterized by a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.

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.
