Chemical Structure

Empagliflozin impurity 242 CAS CATO-C4X-1065242 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 374.58 g/mol gives Empagliflozin impurity 242 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Empagliflozin impurity 242 (CAS CATO-C4X-1065242, C14H9ClFIO) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine/iodine substitution, a polycyclic aromatic system, Empagliflozin impurity 242 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 374.58 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Empagliflozin impurity 242 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.
