Chemical Structure

Vitamin K2 Impurity 1 (Relative Stereochemistry Shown) CAS 97804-50-7 chemical structure

Description

Under current pharmacopoeial and regulatory frameworks, quality-control requirements for this class of reference material explicitly involve the control of targets including Vitamin K2 Impurity 1 (Relative Stereochemistry Shown).

Vitamin K2 Impurity 1 (Relative Stereochemistry Shown) (CAS 97804-50-7) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H14O2 and a molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, a polycyclic aromatic system, Vitamin K2 Impurity 1 (Relative Stereochemistry Shown) is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 238.28 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

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.
