Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 282.33 g/mol gives Propafenone Hydrochloride EP Impurity C distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
Propafenone Hydrochloride EP Impurity C (CAS CATO-C4X-132238) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C18H18O3 and a molecular weight of 282.33 g/mol.
Structurally, Propafenone Hydrochloride EP Impurity C (C18H18O3) contains a steroid core, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage. The molecule exhibits a degree of unsaturation (DBE) of 10.0, corresponding to approximately 10 ring(s) or double-bond equivalent(s). With a molecular weight of 282.33 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.
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.
