The occurrence of Salbutamol Impurity 79 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
CATO supplies Salbutamol Impurity 79 (CAS CATO-C4X-117679), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C11H11BrO4, MW 287.11 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
The molecular framework of Salbutamol Impurity 79 (C11H11BrO4) is characterized by a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, an aromatic ring system. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. 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.
The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
