Chemical Structure

Clonazepam impurity 8 CAS CATO-C4X-14038 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Clonazepam impurity 8 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Clonazepam impurity 8 (CAS CATO-C4X-14038) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C30H21Cl2N5O8HCl and a molecular weight of 686.88 g/mol.

Clonazepam impurity 8 (C30H21Cl2N5O8HCl) contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. It is notably hygroscopic, halogen substitution raises its density and boiling point, the carboxyl group imparts weak acidity; these physicochemical properties determine the optimal preparation and storage of its standard solutions. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

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.
