Chemical Structure

Dexmedetomidine Impurity 76 HCl CAS CATO-C4X-123076 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.

Dexmedetomidine Impurity 76 HCl (CAS CATO-C4X-123076) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C13H16N2HCl and a molecular weight of 236.74 g/mol.

Structurally, Dexmedetomidine Impurity 76 HCl (C13H16N2HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, a nitrile group, chlorine substitution. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 6.0, corresponding to approximately 6 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 236.74 g/mol, it falls into the medium-molecular-weight range. 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.
