Chemical Structure

Chlorthalidone impurity 20 CAS 96512-76-4 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Chlorthalidone impurity 20 (CAS 96512-76-4), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H13ClN2O4S, MW 352.79 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Chlorthalidone impurity 20 (C15H13ClN2O4S) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. 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), Chlorthalidone impurity 20 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.
