Chemical Structure

Ibuprofen Impurity 59 CAS 89878-72-8 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies Ibuprofen Impurity 59 (CAS 89878-72-8), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H27ClO2, MW 310.86 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Ibuprofen Impurity 59 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 310.86 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

CATO manufactures Ibuprofen Impurity 59 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
