Chemical Structure
Description
The occurrence of Zopiclone Impurity 13 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.
Zopiclone Impurity 13 (CAS CATO-C4X-123813) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C17H16Cl2N6O3 and a molecular weight of 423.25 g/mol.
Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Zopiclone Impurity 13 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 423.25 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).
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.
