Lorazepam Impurity 12 CAS 837-58-1 chemical structure

Description

Lorazepam Impurity 12 (CAS 837-58-1) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H9Cl2NO and a molecular weight of 266.12 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C13H9Cl2NO, Lorazepam Impurity 12 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 266.12 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

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), Lorazepam Impurity 12 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.
