Chemical Structure

All-rac-alfa-Tocopherol EP Impurity A (Mixture of Diastereomers) CAS CATO-C4X-119516 chemical structure

Description

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.

CATO supplies All-rac-alfa-Tocopherol EP Impurity A (Mixture of Diastereomers) (CAS CATO-C4X-119516), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C29H50O2, MW 430.71 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, All-rac-alfa-Tocopherol EP Impurity A (Mixture of Diastereomers) is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 430.71 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.
