Chemical Structure

Guanfacine Hydrochloride Impurity 2 CAS 78433-88-2 chemical structure

Description

Based on its molecular formula C8H7Cl2NO, Guanfacine Hydrochloride Impurity 2 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 204.05 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

Guanfacine Hydrochloride Impurity 2 (CAS 78433-88-2) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C8H7Cl2NO and a molecular weight of 204.05 g/mol.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
