Chemical Structure

Dicloxacillin impurity 2 CAS CATO-C4X-16152 chemical structure

Description

Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 668.57 g/mol gives Dicloxacillin impurity 2 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.

Dicloxacillin impurity 2 (CAS CATO-C4X-16152) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C27H27Cl2N5O7S2 and a molecular weight of 668.57 g/mol.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a sulfone group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, Dicloxacillin impurity 2 is typically pale yellow to yellow amorphous powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 668.57 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Halogen substitution (F/Cl/Br/I) produces a distinctive isotope pattern in mass spectrometry, a valuable aid for qualitative confirmation.

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.
