Chemical Structure

α-Ketoglutaric acid Dimer Impurity CAS CATO-C3D-5782 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies α-Ketoglutaric acid Dimer Impurity (CAS CATO-C3D-5782), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C10H10O9, MW 274.18 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, α-Ketoglutaric acid Dimer Impurity (C10H10O9) contains a carbohydrate-derived structure. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 274.18 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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), α-Ketoglutaric acid Dimer Impurity 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.
