Dextromethorphan Impurity 18 HCl CAS CATO-C4X-115718 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 Dextromethorphan Impurity 18 HCl.

CATO supplies Dextromethorphan Impurity 18 HCl (CAS CATO-C4X-115718), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C18H25NOHCl, MW 307.86 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Based on its molecular formula C18H25NOHCl, Dextromethorphan Impurity 18 HCl contains a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 307.86 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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).

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 Dextromethorphan Impurity 18 HCl 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.
