Compared with other compounds in its class, the molecular weight of 266.81 g/mol gives Fingolimod impurity 22 distinctive chromatographic separation conditions and mass-spectrometry parameter settings.
CATO supplies Fingolimod impurity 22 (CAS CATO-C4X-164622), a pharmacopoeial impurity reference standard (molecular formula C16H23ClO, MW 266.81 g/mol) used for the identification and quantification of trace impurities in APIs.
Owing to a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution, an aromatic ring system, Fingolimod impurity 22 is typically off-white to pale yellow low-melting solid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 266.81 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.
