Chemical Structure

Sertraline Impurity 64 CAS 79560-20-6 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Sertraline Impurity 64 (C17H15Cl2N) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. 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. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

Sertraline Impurity 64 (CAS 79560-20-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H15Cl2N and a molecular weight of 304.21 g/mol.

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.
