Citalopram Impurity 76 CAS CATO-C4X-110976 chemical structure

Description

Citalopram Impurity 76 (CAS CATO-C4X-110976) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C19H16FN3O3 and a molecular weight of 353.35 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C19H16FN3O3, Citalopram Impurity 76 contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 353.35 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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.

CATO manufactures Citalopram Impurity 76 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
