Chemical Structure

Loratadine impurity 84 CAS CATO-C4X-142684 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Loratadine impurity 84 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Loratadine impurity 84 (CAS CATO-C4X-142684), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C20H23BrN2O, MW 387.31 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, bromine substitution, Loratadine impurity 84 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 387.31 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.
