Chemical Structure

Chlorpheniramine Impurity 37 CAS CATO-C4X-118837 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 Chlorpheniramine Impurity 37.

CATO supplies Chlorpheniramine Impurity 37 (CAS CATO-C4X-118837), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H18Cl2N2, MW 309.23 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Structurally, Chlorpheniramine Impurity 37 (C16H18Cl2N2) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 8.0, corresponding to approximately 8 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 309.23 g/mol, it falls into the moderately-high-molecular-weight range. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Chlorpheniramine Impurity 37 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.
