Chemical Structure

Phloroglucinol EP Impurity I CAS 87-65-0 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 163.00 g/mol gives Phloroglucinol EP Impurity I distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Phloroglucinol EP Impurity I (CAS 87-65-0), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C6H4Cl2O, MW 163.00 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C6H4Cl2O, Phloroglucinol EP Impurity I contains a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 163.00 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).

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), Phloroglucinol EP Impurity I 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.
