Chemical Structure

Trazodone Impurity 48 HCl CAS CATO-C4X-177248 chemical structure

Description

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.

Trazodone Impurity 48 HCl (CAS CATO-C4X-177248) is a certified pharmaceutical impurity reference standard with the molecular formula C16H25ClN2OHCl and a molecular weight of 333.30 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C16H25ClN2OHCl, Trazodone Impurity 48 HCl contains a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic scaffold, an amide group, a hydroxyl group, an ether linkage, chlorine substitution; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 333.30 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.

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.
