Chemical Structure

Afatinib Impurity 66 CAS CATO-C4X-100666 chemical structure

Description

Afatinib Impurity 66 (C18H16ClFN4O4) contains a flavonoid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/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).

CATO supplies Afatinib Impurity 66 (CAS CATO-C4X-100666), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H16ClFN4O4, MW 406.80 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Afatinib Impurity 66 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.
