Chemical Structure

Phenylephrine Impurity 48 CAS 925430-39-3 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 172.61 g/mol gives Phenylephrine Impurity 48 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

CATO supplies Phenylephrine Impurity 48 (CAS 925430-39-3), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C8H9ClO2, MW 172.61 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

The molecular framework of Phenylephrine Impurity 48 (C8H9ClO2) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by the polarity and ionization state of its functional 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 48 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.
