Chemical Structure

Alprazolam impurity 27 CAS CATO-C4X-146027 chemical structure

Description

The molecular framework of Alprazolam impurity 27 (C15H11Cl2NO2) is characterized by a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution. In reversed-phase chromatography, its retention is governed primarily by its high hydrophobicity (logP), which provides a practical basis for HPLC-UV/DAD or LC-MS method development. The aromatic system may exhibit native fluorescence, enabling detection with a fluorescence detector (FLD).

CATO supplies Alprazolam impurity 27 (CAS CATO-C4X-146027), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C15H11Cl2NO2, MW 308.16 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Alprazolam impurity 27 meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
