Chemical Structure

Propranolol Impurity 52 CAS CATO-C4X-151952 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Propranolol Impurity 52 is closely related to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

Propranolol Impurity 52 (CAS CATO-C4X-151952) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H21NO2 and a molecular weight of 259.34 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H21NO2, Propranolol Impurity 52 contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 259.34 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. 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.

As a certified reference material (CRM), Propranolol Impurity 52 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.
