Chemical Structure

Dexmedetomidine Impurity 100 CAS 79928-28-2 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Dexmedetomidine Impurity 100 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Dexmedetomidine Impurity 100 (CAS 79928-28-2, C13H16N2HCl) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution, Dexmedetomidine Impurity 100 is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 236.74 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Dexmedetomidine Impurity 100 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.
