Chemical Structure

Finasteride Impurity 11 CAS CATO-C4X-164511 chemical structure

Description

The occurrence of Finasteride Impurity 11 is closely related to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage in its molecular formula, which determines its behaviour during synthesis, purification, or degradation.

CATO supplies Finasteride Impurity 11 (CAS CATO-C4X-164511), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C23H36N2O2, MW 372.54 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.

Owing to a steroid core, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, Finasteride Impurity 11 is typically off-white to pale yellow crystalline powder. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 372.54 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.

Recommended for quantitative analysis by HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, or GC-MS as an external calibration standard; it can also be used for spiked-recovery experiments, LOD/LOQ determination, and LC-MS/MS multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) calibration.

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.
