Chemical Structure

Efavirenz Impurity 27 CAS CATO-C4X-162727 chemical structure

Description

As a process- or degradation-related impurity, Efavirenz Impurity 27 (CAS CATO-C4X-162727, C16H15ClF3NO2) is essential for impurity profiling, related-substances testing, and forced-degradation studies in pharmaceutical development.

Owing to a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, fluorine/chlorine substitution, Efavirenz Impurity 27 is typically pale yellow to yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 345.74 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques. Nitrogen-containing functional groups confer excellent ionization efficiency in positive-ion electrospray (ESI) mode, making the compound well suited to LC-MS/MS analysis.

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), Efavirenz 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.
