Chemical Structure

Propofol Impurity 58 CAS CATO-C4X-147358 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Propofol Impurity 58 is closely related to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Propofol Impurity 58 (CAS CATO-C4X-147358), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H22O3, MW 262.34 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a carboxylic acid group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, an aromatic ring system, Propofol Impurity 58 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 262.34 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. 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.

CATO manufactures Propofol Impurity 58 under ISO 17034:2016 accreditation with dual CNAS and ANAB accreditation. Each batch is characterized by orthogonal methods and supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA), ensuring metrological traceability.
