Chemical Structure

Phenylephrine impurity 94 CAS 83070-12-6 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 242.07 g/mol gives Phenylephrine impurity 94 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Phenylephrine impurity 94 (CAS 83070-12-6) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C9H8BrNO2 and a molecular weight of 242.07 g/mol.

The molecular framework of Phenylephrine impurity 94 (C9H8BrNO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine 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 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Phenylephrine impurity 94 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.
