Ferulic Acid Impurity 3 CAS 948051-11-4

Description

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.

CATO supplies Ferulic Acid Impurity 3 (CAS 948051-11-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H12O4, MW 208.21 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C11H12O4, Ferulic Acid Impurity 3 contains a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 208.21 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The high carbon-to-hydrogen ratio imparts good lipophilicity, allowing liquid-liquid extraction with non-polar solvents such as n-hexane or ethyl acetate.

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.
